Chavez must be laughing his a** off right now.
.....over here.
Doing quite well on my own, Thank You.
Of course: why not socialize risk when you can privatize profits? Such a deal!
If there ever was a guy who has bought the “smartest guy in the room” fallacy (about himself), it’s Friedman.
I was thinking Fascist.
Did they not tell him Gov't Control and Private Ownership equals Facisim?
And he has the balls to tell us we have to do better because India will eat our lunch because the world it flat?
LOL. Yeah, how stooopid does someone have to be (or simply a dishonest liberal pol) to believe that companies would continue offering health care as a benefit if they can dump it off on the govt.
Different case, but we need only look at how fast that Hawaii plan for childrens' health insurance collapsed -- they quickly broke their budget, in less than a year, b/c they assumed that there would be no flood of parents' cancelling other insurance to get on the gubmint plan. The Hawaii plan blew up in less than a year b/c of such stupid assumptions (or more likely the planners knew that would happen but figured they would be able to push for bigger budgets to accommodate everyone - perhaps they only got caught by how quickly the plan's budget collapsed).
Indiana has a need-based plan for children that actually works. Pretty much paid for by smokers. But I don’t see how it could work if everyone were on it.
Freidman must be upset that gas is below two dollars. He advocates government make gas 4.50 to promote green change.
How inconvenient supply and demand is to commies.
I say let the auto companies go bankrupt before making them produce clown cars like yugos.

That’s funny, Galt....but don’t think you can hide forever.....the Anointed One will abide no slackers and malcontents in the Brave New World.
