Milton Friedman Schools Young Idealist (Stanford)
I just love Milton Friedman
In this classic footage from a Stanford University lecture, Professor Friedman takes Q&A after his talk "The Role of Government in a Free Society." In this exchange, a young man describes poverty as a "market failure." Friedman, in characteristic fashion, shows otherwise. Though this was recorded around 1979, the exchange is timeless.
Obama Looking For Ways Around Congress On Gun Policy
The American people overwhelmingly voted for a change in direction in November.
