Sir, I said no such thing.
We spend $60,000 on each person in poverty on various programs-most of which trickles down to the low income people. Most of that $60,000 is spent on administrative expenses. Friedman argued that we would save a tremendous amount of money if we eliminated all welfare programs and paid everyone directly. He certainly never advocated paying anyone $60,000 (in today’s dollars) back in 1962. He looked at it as a way to save money. He wanted one program not hundreds to help people in poverty.
To suggest that I don’t belong on FR is absurd. I have been a loyal supporter of this site with time and contributions.
Thank you for clarifying. Sorry to have missed your point the first go round.
