Milton Friedman...................

.....would have turned 102 this week.   To honor the occasion, Mark J. Perry posted a few of his favorite Friedman quotes.  Here are a few:

"The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem."

"I’m in favor of legalizing drugs. According to my values system, if people want to kill themselves, they have every right to do so. Most of the harm that comes from drugs is because they are illegal."

"With some notable exceptions, businessmen favor free enterprise in general but are opposed to it when it comes to themselves."
