Video - Excerpts from an interview with Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn on May 22, 2006, in which Friedman discusses the dangers of big government and advocates abolishing the Fed.
In Friedman's defense, his comments on Bernanke were before the bailouts which Friedman would have hated passionately were he still alive.
And to Friedman's discredit, he was a brash supporter of free markets who didn't anticipate the massive fraud that would result from bad regulators and non-existent regulation. Witness markets for CDS, derivatives and Goldman Sachs creating synthetic CDOs designed to fail, to name a few examples.
We must have punishment and jail time for criminals, or greed has won.
