I do not understand what you are saying about Milton Friedman
The liberal economists do not like Milton Friedman’s theories because they want smaller government and no government intervention in economics. Simply put, he was against big government. All liberal economists are for big government. As in any other theory. It is a great theory that is impossible to implement. So his theories are used to argue the big government theory.
He was also against the federal reserve and wanted it abolished
Totally Cool and Feasible 21st Century Protectionist Economic Recovery Plan
Step 1: Bail out Hostess
Step 2: Levy 30% tax on food manufacturers that use cream filling machines
Step 3: Hostess forced to hire human labor to fill each individual twinkie, thus creating more jobs
Step 4: Contrary to all market theory, the consumer is perfectly happy to purchase the new and improved $9 twinkie
Step 5: Macroeconomic success
Matthew
Which, you had just used is microeconomics. You are controlling a small part of the economy, making it microeconomics. Macro means the whole economy.
I get your drift
Friedman was supportive of the state provision of some public goods that private businesses are not considered as being able to provide. However, he argued that many of the services performed by government could be performed better by the private sector. Above all, if some public goods are provided by the state, he believed that they should not be a legal monopoly where private competition is prohibited; for example, he wrote:
There is no way to justify our present public monopoly of the post office. It may be argued that the carrying of mail is a technical monopoly and that a government monopoly is the least of evils. Along these lines, one could perhaps justify a government post office, but not the present law, which makes it illegal for anybody else to carry the mail. If the delivery of mail is a technical monopoly, no one else will be able to succeed in competition with the government. If it is not, there is no reason why the government should be engaged in it. The only way to find out is to leave other people free to enter.
Friedman was not for abolishing the Fed. He was an advocate on monetary policy. Also, those who adopted his free market theory were those who were also fine and dandy with government interference for themselves just not for certain people. It’s all hypocrisy.
What the fudge. I have no idea what I’m saying to set off the filter.
Anyway, Doug, I realize that that was a microeconomic example, followed by macroeconomic commentary; I meant that practicing protectionism, either in an individual industry, or in all industries, is not going to yield long-term fruit. We would need some sort of international agreement with the other industrialized nations that we will no longer trade with countries that mistreat their citizens, similar to the way we’ve isolated North Korea and Iran. Isolating ourselves is not going to work.
1966 – for you hillbilly is that you and faith3?
——————————–
If i don’t hear the name Faith3 for 5 years I’ll be lucky. Ever since the divorce we had an agreement. Once a week she comes over. I smack her around then we have wild jungle sex, i smack her on the a$$ & she leaves happy. Well last night (Saturday) the women was extra “amours” if ya know what i mean.
What when on would of killed a normal man. I’m lucky to be alive.

::uploading an aspirin to Hillbilly and a high five to Faith3::
“There is no way to justify our present public monopoly of the post office.”
As there is no way to justify our present monopoly of such things as utilities. We no longer have public utilities but instead (get such things as our electricity) through a private agency which was once owned by Mass Electric. I’ve no choice in what carrier I want because this Oligopoly is owed by the company that controls utilities in this area. Pretending by getting rid of our public services and switching to private ones will open up competition is fools gold. This has increased certain private power in this country.
Faith3, Matthew and Doug, great posts. Thank you. I’m learning things from you three.
Hillbilly,
You using that Viagra again;-)
Thank you BevAG.
@Hillbilly
You should get that continual “toe curling” condition checked. It could be arthritis.
@Faith @Hillybilly You using that Viagra again;-)
Just popped in to see what was going on—lol—needed that laugh today. Carry on—
Letmethink
Hi and yes, let’s all ‘carry on’…..The entire lot of us posting here, have our head’s screwed on the right way…Not like the hand wringers and procrastinators in Congress. Tell me again why we are paying these people, plus fabulous perks? Don’t forget, Congress has a 10 to 18% favorable rating. Wow…Impressive….Not. Happy N. Year to all.
nancy, not only that, Obama just gave Congress and Biden a raise. It’s unbelievable. Obama just throws taxpayers’ dollars around like he’s printing money. Oh, that’s right. That’s exactly what he’s doing.
NRA has a higher approval rating than Obama and Congress. I just re-upped for three years.
@1Nancy2 Hi and yes, let’s all ‘carry on’…..The entire lot of us posting here, have our head’s screwed on the right way…Not like the hand wringers and procrastinators in Congress. Tell me again why we are paying these people, plus fabulous perks? Don’t forget, Congress has a 10 to 18% favorable rating. Wow…Impressive….Not. Happy N. Year to all.
Hi Nancy–again I totally agree with you. One more question—Why are they getting a raise?
Happy New year to you too
BevAg–you are so quick–you beat me to my question. Hope all is well with you in the beautiful but bankrupt state of CA.
Who cares what all your polital views are. I can prove you all wrong but who cares? Spew all your right wing garbage someplace else and keep this place for commenting on TV ratings.
Letmethink, all is well in beautiful but bankrupt California. And we have 2013 right around the corner. That means plenty of tax hikes at every turn in California so that the state government can pay HUGE pensions and the “beast” can be fed.
I like that term someone said, “starving the beast.” That’s what it is. It’s a huge beast that never gets enough. It just keeps taxing and spending. The beast being the government.
I’m going to watch from afar those who don’t pay taxes who voted in to increase taxes go broke because the ones who do pay taxes are ticked and are moving out of California.
How are you doing, Letmethink? Getting ready for New Year? I’m staying home this New Year and watching Fox News’ first New Year’s Eve special. If Dick Clark were still here, I’d watch him, but now I’ll start watching Fox on New Year’s Eve.
