Additional quotes by Milton Friedman

People in Congress are in a business; they’re trying to buy votes; they’re in the business of competing with one another to get elected.

They think the way you solve things is by electing the right people. It’s nice to elect the right people but that isn’t the way you solve things. The way you solve things is by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right things!
