Is there any DVD available of those lectures? I see that you post parts of it - is there any way to get full version?

@fzqlcs well the government had an entitlement program under the GI bill post war and has had the Pell Grant in place as an entitlement for US citizens who want to pursue education...at the end of the day these programs help with welfare and it is an argument for making them so because the society sees the benefit of having scholarships in place to produce educated people

[fzqlcs]

@tunacorncheese I don't trust you reading comprehension so post your reference on Milton. I don't trust it because there would be no reason for you to ask your question had you read and understood my response. "a scholarship could be considered welfare if mandated from the government." At any rate, because Friedman is an example of what could be accomplished by providing the right person with a scholarship, that does not argue for government making them entitlements.

@fzqlcs How could a government scholarship be considered voluntary when it was a government mandate at the time funded by tax payer money ? he didnt get a private scholarship he got a public one. there was nothing voluntary about it except that he accepted it.

[fzqlcs]

@tunacorncheese No, a scholarship could be considered welfare only if it was mandated by government. Scholarships are a voluntary gift. Aren't you glad you didn't get welfare for Christmas?

[tunacorncheese]

funny how he got a government scholarship to study economics but he never left the discipline....isnt a scholarship welfare he got a good education from tax payer money and his welfare was provided for....i guess he doesnt want anyone else to get that

Hmm sound doesn't work, I hear sound in the Libertypen intro just fine but the lecture itself is very low and garbled??
