You forgot to credit Milton Friedman for that silly quote.

LOL!

Well, you must think pretty highly of yourself to call Milton Friedman "silly", but I didn't know he had said that.

What that analogy does is illustrate just how truly silly a fear of free trade is. Friedman, of course, knew that.

As much as some worship Friedman, he hardly had an unbroken string of proven predictions and theories.

Yes, and the grocer, trade deficit analogy is nonsense.
