This is the official policy we've been following for decades. How's it working out for you now?

In this video Milton Friedman makes sense as he always did.
The kid comes off as an indoctrinated student.
Too much emotion not enough reason.

You avoided the question.

How's it working out for you now?

When it's not over-regulated by the government it works just fine.

We have unprecedented levels of deregulation present tense. You got your way allowing foxes to mind the hen house. You continue to avoid the question.

I answered your question and you came up with a spin like "unprecedented levels of deregulation".
The economy has been regulated quite a bit for quite a while, which threw it out of
balance much stronger than if it wasn't distorted by the regulations.

Let me ask you.
1- Do you believe in Regulations?
2- Why?

I love uncle Milty. There is more regulation of Industry in our country than at any time since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. So your argument is "How is living in the most regulated society in human history working out for you?" Well for me I'm doing just fine. For that poor soul making $8.00 an hour paying 30% more for his groceries because of the heavy regulation not so well.

On the morality side. No question I'm doing just fine. Risk vs cost? How much is to much to pay? Just look at Liebeck vs. McDonald's. Perfect example of the nanny state we live in today.

Tell that to a child laborer in third world countries. No regulations has its wonders.

I'm not against regulations when they are based on common sense and not politically driven.
