and you've GOT to see this history of health care costs here.
"We know that anything government does private enterprise can do for half the cost." -- Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Dr. Milton Friedman to Charlie Rose 12-26-2005
"Whenever the government runs things it always costs twice as much as should be." -- Gerald Pearse
"Government purchases of military hardware, highways, energy projects, space equipment, and other items often cost 50% or 100%, or more (see here and here), above what politicians originally promise." -- Chris Edwards
"When the government pays, health care's lack of affordability becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. In health care, as in other things, government is the high-cost producer." -- Arnold Kling
"The idea of putting government in charge of something to 'save money' is INSANE." -- Ben Stein
"Government does not do ANYthing as well as the private sector does, and that includes educating your children." -- Neal Boortz
"It takes more weeks to get an answer from the Small Business Administration to an emergency loan application than [the number of] seconds it takes to get money from an ATM [while you're visiting] a foreign country." -- Newt Gingrich
"Never trust the government to do a job, if you have a private business alternative." -- D.J. Drummond
"Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm." -- James Madison
"I call this the Fundamental Problem of Political Economy. How do we limit the power that idiots have over us? ... [Milton] Friedman's insight is that a market limits the power that others have over us; conversely, limiting the power that others have over us allows us to have markets. Friedman argued that no matter how wise the officials of government may be, market competition does a better job of protecting us from idiots." -- Arnold Kling
"Our bureaucrats are even more incompetent than the ones in Venezuela." -- Jim Rogers, 12-11-2002
"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." -- Dr. Thomas Sowell
"The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other." -- Ronald Reagan
"Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as he spends his own. Nobody uses somebody else's resources as carefully as he uses his own." -- Milton Friedman
"Talk about threats to national security -- how about government so big, so complicated and so unmanageable, it can't get out of its own way?" -- Bob Schieffer
"I'm no longer a consumer advocate if I'm reporting on government? Doesn't government screw consumers, too? You bet." -- John Stossel
