Dr Milton Friedman was a economist of the fatalist variety back in my heyday working the Atex publishing system at the State Record Company in Columbia, SC.
Having received received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy it was typically my observation that he exhibited an utter lack of optimism when he would appear in various television news segments appearing to scold the country for those transgressions he perceived in our economics and I was always amused with his perspective.
He advised President Ronald Reagan as well as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with a political philosophy of a free market economic system with minimal intervention. For that alone he always held my respect.
Now with the needs of the democrats to control every aspect of our existence and take all our money for redistribution as they see fit I doubt very seriously that the complicent traitors of the mainstream media would give him much air time.
Dr Friedman was born July 31, 1912 and passed November 16, 2006. His was a life of higher education and service and for that he deserves our gratitude. Plus he wasn't a leftist libtard out for personal profit from the taxypayer like the persons populating the democrat party of the United States of America.
