@lavedon You must be joking

[logant44]

I don't understand a word this guy is saying

[helm8969]

Epstein is simply unbelieveable. The guy is Hamiltonesque in that he speaks extemporaneously and sounds like a very good doctoral dissertaion. He is by far the brightest star in the conservative intellectual constellation.

[selfmadenow]

Yes, Mr. Danta, excellent point indeed.

[dcdanta]

Mr. Robinson assumes--mistakenly in my opinion-- that Milton Friedman would have advocated increases in the monetary base during the "credit crunch." A better approximation of Mr. Friedman's view would probably be that of Anna Schwartz's, his coauthor in a Monetary History of the United States:"The Fed has gone about as if the problem is a shortage of liquidity. That is not the basic problem."

That is an excellent point.
