mr1983: Don't know the complexities of Social Security system in America but I have read that Friedman believed that it actually distributed wealth from the poorer to the richer people through the way it was set up. That would be worrying!
Hi 83...Not sure if I would word it that way...Milton Friedman advocated privatizing Social Security...I happen to agree with this...He also believed in small government, I totally agree, and he championed a slowly escalating consumption tax, again I agree....He was a brilliant American economist and statistician, but best of all, he was a pragmatist!...He believed in taking a practical approach to problems!!............And of course, he was a conservative!!!

I've read up on some of his writings. I agree completely that he was brilliant. I love his ideas. But bank deregulation doesn't work. People are too greedy. But his ideas were fantastic!
Obama leads 2012 race in Ohio, poll shows . .By Rachel Rose Hartman Thu, Jul 21, 2011 ........
Obama greets a crowd in Toledo, Ohio June 3 (Charles Dharapak/AP) President Obama bests former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the key swing state of Ohio, according to a new survey of registered voters conducted by Quinnipiac University's Polling Institute.
The president holds a 4 percent lead over Romney in the survey—45 to 41 percent. The Ohio findings are encouraging news for the president, amid multiple surveys that show Romney leading the GOP field or beating Obama in the 2012 general election.
Obama bests Romney, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and Texas Gov. Rick Perry—in that order—in today's poll.
But it's not all good news.
Though Ohioans appear to favor Obama for the general election, the survey shows voters may not be terribly happy with that option. Those surveyed remain split 46 to 47 percent on whether Obama deserves a second term, and they give him a negative job-approval rating of 50 percent to 46 percent approval.
Quinnipiac analysts suggest Obama's lead in Ohio is due to a lack of voter enthusiasm about the prospective GOP field.
"His middling job and re-election ratings show that there may be a potential opportunity to defeat President Obama in 2012 in Ohio, but for that to occur the GOP will have to nominate a candidate that can capture the public's imagination to a degree not yet evident," Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Institute, said in his analysis.
Today's results offer evidence Obama hasn't increased his appeal in Ohio this year. A Quinnipiac survey of Ohio in May showed registered voters split on whether the president deserves re-election.
The president's advisors cite Toledo, where the president stopped last month to tour a Jeep plant, as one place where supporters are mobilizing.
Obama lost Ohio to Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary, but he beat John McCain there by 4 percentage points in the general election.
Ccincy: This is got to be a hoax.LOL It can't be true.

Liberals usually get a Cannibling-Fit when they hear Friedman,or lump him together with their "Economists"!
But then,they hate the Austrian School of Economics anyway!

Ccincy: HAHAHA dude no way.Sorry I'm not stupid enough to place a bet on someone who could really end up making things anymore worse then they are now.This includes all political figures.
They really don't care and are way more busy catering to big businesses and their campaign contribruters.They've played with too many peoples lives. They all deserve an award for the parts they've played fooling all the people into thinking that they're in it for the people.
All the crap that spills from their mouths they could fertilize most of the farmland in this country.
And if dems and president not care for campain contributers... then what? any chance for victory any way? It is America Cciny and you know your country and Money makes the whole thing going on and campaines need money and tons of money and not many folks out there are going to vote any body in unless the person is coomercialised for and showed on Tv adds and travelling around and making conferences and campain contribution events and all that.
President Obama campain needs a lot of money in order to defeat Republicans who got almost the whole entire oil and war and health care industries behind them and are injected money from out side America as well and from Bin Talals and through the dang Chamber of Commerce and Carl Rove and others of the Dang Gang!
What should Obama do? Wearing a monk suit , shaving his head and moving on the top of a mountain and praying for victory while Repubheads receiving tons of money all time and all over the place and from the planet of OZ as well??
No way! This campain is an absolutely expensive one because the entire flee of right wingers got a lot cash and keep getting cash for sure. Of course president Obama cares for politcal contributions Cciny... why should this fact being odd or unusual?

If the messiah is so great, people would automatically vote for him. He wouldn't need to collect a billion dollars to run negative, hate filled ads against republicans.
ttom500: WE have seen how well Obama has improved the economy. WE want change and WE want change now! WE should give him a early retirement package so he can write books and travel the world for $10000 a night diner talks.
Singing "Bye Bye American Pie" here by Don McLean. President Obama has had his share of the American Pie for 4 years and he did not put anything back into the Pie. It is time to find a new baker of pies!
Herman Cain for President.
You heard it. It is a endorsement for Herman Cain for President of the United States of America.
Hot_Single_Dude: Well... Watch and Learn Freddy... President Obama campain is going to get a lot money for fighting this politcal battle and will be supported by millons of americans while u whin and cry and can not GET how important it is keeping GOP out of absolute power in America for the next many years at least!
No Messia and stuff like that and no need to cliam being the man of god like all those bribed and absolutely immoral guys of urs keep talking a bout and lying their buttoms off all day long doing so... Obama is also a politcian and got to win a gain in order to get America safely through the troubled water...
What ever positive this president acheives through his eight years can be POOFed a way by Republicans in no time and a Reagan can just move in to the White House and removing solar panels as one of the very first things he Ever did ... but still... five years some thing more to go and president Obama is going to be remembered as one THE best american presidents EVER.
The whole entire flee of ur guys can not match this president and his abilities and his care for America but sure... u and ur guys are pretty good creating a mess and getting some attention once in a while
