Why it isn't Necessary to "Throw the Bums Out"

I think Friedman is wrong here.
The political leaders not only desire political gains but financial gains.
Therefore you see Congress voting for the bailouts even when the majority of the country didn't want it. (and this happens on many other occasions)
What Congress does is they talk about the right things and make excuses to reap political profits during their elections, and then do the opposite to reap financial gains from the corporations and special interests.

Brilliant!

Societies have become freer and freer? Maybe I live in a different universe, but in mine government has grown and grown, freedom has been more and more quenched.
