“I cannot disagree with you that having something like 500 economists is extremely unhealthy. As you say, it is not conducive to independent, objective research. You and I know there has been censorship of the material published. Equally important, the location of the economists in the Federal Reserve has had a significant influence on the kind of research they do, biasing that research toward noncontroversial technical papers on method as opposed to substantive papers on policy and results” KnowsKindHas BeensImportantPoliticalPoliticsResultsInfluencePolicyMaterialsPaperResearchIndependentMethodSignificantObjectivesDisagreeCensorshipReservesLocationEconomistPapersUnhealthyFederal Reserve Author:Milton Friedman
“I believe our nation is at a point where there are enough irreconcilable differences between those Americans who want to control other Americans and those Americans who want to be left alone that separation is the only peaceable alternative. Just as in a marriage where vows are broken, our rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution have been grossly violated by a government instituted to protect them. These constitutional violations have increased independent of whether there's been a Democrat-controlled Washington or a Republican-controlled Washington.” WantBelieveHas BeensEnoughGovernmentLeftI BelieveNationsDifferencesRightsBrokenRepublicanProtectConstitutionIndependentDemocratSeparationAlternativesControlledVowViolationLeft Alone Book:American Contempt for Liberty Source: American Contempt for Liberty
