Milton Friedman - Government & The Poor

Milton Friedman focuses on the devastating effects of big government programs on the poor, using minimum wage laws as his prime example. He also looks at the defective thinking that spawned the social security system. (1975) http://www.libertypen.com

@pjmgame Or let me amend my previous comment, do you believe that the policies enacted by FDR are good for the country long-term?

[ElJefer]

@pjmgame Could you explain how FDR ended the depression?

[ElJefer]

@pjmgame FDR represents unconstitutional government intervention, so he probably doesn't admire FDR

@pjmgame In fact, numerous American history books (and a greater percentage every day) explode the myth that FDR ended the Depression. These range from "America's Great Depresssion" to "A Monetary History of the United States" to the more recent "FDR's Folly". Consider also "Pride, Prejudice, and Politics: Roosevelt Versus Recovery, 1933–1938" or the work of Robert Higgs or the excellent "Great Depression" entry in "The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics" (available online)

Do some research.

@pjmgame Not a chance. As Ron Paul has made clear countless times, he is an adherent to the Austrian School of economics. And there is no Austrian economist who does less than excoriate FDR for his disastrous economic policies. It is simply factually rong to assert that FDR ended the Depression. In fact, it is so wrong that not only do most economists dispute that assertion but a majority of historians now dispute that position. And historians as a rule are NOT right wing.

FDR does deserve some credit: he did try every big government method in the book & prolong the depression for 19 years. Have you ever studied the Depression of 1920? It lasted about 18 months total with signs of recovery starting to show 6 months into it despite, by many measures, the first year of the Depression of 1920 being far worse than the first year of the Great Depression. By and large, there was no intervention on any part by the government & the economy thrived.

@FletchforFreedom iI disagree. I believe Ron paul admires FDR

[pjmgame]

@Goodatconnect4 Give credit where credit is due. As a conservtaive you'll probably hate to hear that FDR ended the depression. But sir thats the TRUTH
