Milton Friedman's Wisdom Rings True Today
Remember The Phil Donahue Show? The show had a 26 year run that ended in 1996. Donahue seldom hid his liberal views on a host of issues. And though I don't recall him being rude to his guests, he never seemed to be at a loss for words, except during this exchange with noted economist Milton Friedman, who died in 2006. I'm not sure when the interview took place, but my guess is during the 80's.
What I find striking is how true Friedman's words are today. The decision-makers in Washington would do well to heed his counsel before they go about the business of redefining government.
