Reality Has A Liberal Bias

Yes, it's as true now as it was then. The trouble is that socialists can always outbid free market proponents in the auction for desirable outcomes. Of course, they can't deliver, but the pitch is always seductive, especially to the young and the poor. Some people will always be more attracted to a system that promises universal utopia, than to a system which acknowledges the inevitability of winners and losers. And in selecting the system which promises what cannot be achieved, they claim moral superiority for having loftier aspirations.

The phrase was first attributed to Milton Friedman in the December 31, 1965 edition of Time magazine.In the February 4, 1966 edition, Friedman wrote a letter clarifying that his original statement had been "In one sense, we are all Keynesians now; in another, nobody is any longer a Keynesian."

In 1971, after taking the United States off the gold standard,Nixon was quoted as saying "I am now a Keynesian in economics", which became popularly associated with Friedman's phrase.

I think you're jumping on a debate opponent's brain fart as if it meant something. Have you never dragged out a dimly-remembered quote in the heat of debate? Be honest.

Technically, you get the points, but it's no big deal. Don't play dirty and try to attribute it to general crookery on the part of your opponent, or the one who'll lose credibility will be _you_.

Personally, as a Marxian socialist, I don't favor either of you folks' worldview, but fair is fair.

"'We are all Keynesians now' is a now-famous phrase coined by Milton Friedman and attributed to U.S. president Richard Nixon."

I like how 3 different people with 3 different sources all say the same thing, which is FACTUAL and we all get thumbs down.

I don't think anyone "likes" it-

Conservatives seem to see a liberal bias in most universities,

certainly in political science, anthropology, meteorology and

climate science, archaeology, criminology, economics.

pharmacology, sociology, women's studies, European history,

geology, marine biology, and history.

I have seen several sources that credit credit Nixon. others that credit Friedman. The trouble with both sources is that neither group is particularly reliable.

"More than two decades ago, during an interview with a reporter from Time magazine, Friedman commented that "in one sense, we are all Keynesians now; "

Care to apologize?

Where's my apology, JA?
