Miltron Freidman is one of the reasons we are in the mess we are in. What would he do to save us? More deregulation? More tax breaks for the wealthy?

I will note that the establishment of a Miltron Freidman Inst. is now controversial even at the University of Chicago. 5 years ago -- even two -- the Miltron Freidman Funhouse would have steamrolled through with nary a peep. I quote from a campus visitor last week:

“The Milton Friedman Institute is going to be the academic equivalent of a big yellow Hummer parked in the middle of your beautiful campus: a two hundred million dollar dinosaur gone extinct before the paint is dry,”
