In this video, Milton Friedman critiques the notion that poverty can be alleviated through government programs, arguing that the welfare state actually creates more poverty rather than helping individuals escape it.

My county and City met and most agreed the one thing it’s going to take to tackle the Portland homeless crisis is more resources. Translation: More money. We don’t need more money. We need to cut ineffective programs and give additional funding to

Milton Friedman: “We are not governed by the people—that’s a myth that carries over from Abraham Lincoln’s day. We don’t have government of the people, by the people, for the people.” “We have government of the people, by the bureaucrats, for the bureaucrats.”

“Will a Conservative government cut programs like the dental care program?” Poilievre’s response is something like: - if people wanted these programs they’d vote for the NDP in the next election. - These programs don’t actually exist. - The numbers of people using those programs are derived from government propaganda. She responds to the final point: “Is that just because you say so? What evidence or data do you have that we cannot trust those numbers?” (Great question btw) Poilievre: “Let’s get the actual facts before Canadians. And let’s make judgements based on the reality rather than on government propaganda.” If you’re one of these (fake, apparently) people enjoying these government programs, get it while you can.
