1. Good photos

One tiny moan: Friedman wasn't a supply-sider. He was a monetarist.

Bob Mundell created supply side economics.

Both are abject failures.

3. That doesn't by ANY means let Uncle Milty off the hook.

Using parts of South America as the playground for his failed and quite predatory ideas, the US corporatists adopted the worst of Friedman's ideas and created a permanent ideology among American business leaders since the mid-70s . . . a plague which will kill America's prosperity unless we get rid of it, and FAST.

6. Who said it did?

I only said he was a monetarist and an abject failure.

4. How is insanity defined?

I think it was something like "trying the same failed thing again and again and again and expecting a different result each time" . . . I might be paraphrasing just a bit. :toast:

5. That's the definition I remember

and I think the GOP is finally starting to see the light. They are desperately hanging onto shreds of their ideology and hoping Saint Reagan will rise from the grave to show them the way.
