WWMD (What Would MIlton Do?)

Most people who invoke the name Milton Friedman do not know anything about him or what he represented. Calling the Right, the Religious Right "Milton Friedman" is like calling the left Karl Marx.

It's more accurate to call the US Center (aka Barack Obama) Milton Friedman, the Religion Right christofascism, and Naomi Klein the nutsy left who doesn't realize that economists are on Obama's side too.

Yet Naomi Klein like many Americans think Milton Friedman was some mastermind behind Bush.

That is wrong.

Even his son, who is more anarcho-capitalist than he ever was, prefers Obama. Friedman believed in a smaller government.

Back in the early 60s, all the free world had a principle called utilitarianism as opposed to communism. "Greed" was good to Friedman, not because he wanted Joe the Plumber telling Obama not to take his money, but because he felt that the free market was the most effcient and most moral alocation of goods.

He is probably right.

He woud like Barack Obama. He would right now be part of Obama's crack economic team helping them with their "Soft Paternalism."

Soft Paternalism is basically the idea that people are idiots and need incentives to do the right thing. So that means instead of tariffs, he gives job credits if they stay in the US. That's not far "leftist."

The Religious Right has become a fascist people. Sarah Palin doesn't care about the poor because she thinks she is going to heaven no matter what.

Neo-con + Christian = Christofascist.

Vote the party of Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, and Richard Nixon, and John F Kennedy, and every president before "Ronnie Raygun."

The New Democrats.

Ronnie Raygun was a fucking retard who started us into Christofascism.

Milton Friedman = Barack Obama. He would 100% be like "McCain is a fucking idiot, this is not the Republican party I remember. They don't know what they are talking about anymore. Everything Obama says is stuff I support, but no one seems to know it."

I'm saying it for him.

I am sorry if your Lolbertarians want to be John Galt, but there is room for compassion in government! Keynes too would be on the side of Friedman. They'd have more in common with each other than McCain has with either of them

They would call him a corporate nazi, the plutocrat he is

I should be on MSNBC

I am objective and biased. I can go on there with my annoying smirk. I say the exact things in my blog that the people on their shows say!

Anyway, I have a theory about Matt Drudge.

He is not biased, but he is an idiot.

He is the Joe The Plumber of the Media. A Libertarian who thinks that we need to repeal the 16th amendment and replace it with the "FairTax," a rather Lolbertarian idea.

I offer FairTaxers another solution. Negative Income Tax. Look up US history. We are at a new time and we can try to propose this idea as economists. A new intellectual youth is coming.

I am 23 and I am told I am "indoctrinated" for pointing out facts I learned on Wikipedia by some of these people.

Matt Drudge hates both candidates. The belief is that one of McCain's people leaked to Drudge to get this fake story out, and it backfired in a major way. I think Matt Drudge knew it was fake the whole time.

But besides that, I just want a president that I personally could talk to for three hours about economics.
