“We will not solve our problem by electing the right people. We will only solve our problem by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.” — Milton Friedman

Friendly amendment: Or change the incentives so that the right thing means more (to lawmakers) than their political capital. Example: Term limits change the lawmakers’ incentives.

That is Trump in a nutshell. Ironically, he became the right person in the process.

True pragmatism at its peak.

Okay, but how? Term limits might be a start, but knowing they have limited time might actually have the opposite effect: if they don't have to fight for reelection, why does it matter if they do the right thing?

@JesseKellyDC should read this. since he keeps yammering on and on about "electing better candidates". seems that's not actually possible. Uncle Milt is right on target here.

@AP4Liberty @jufujimaru this is my favorite quote from Milton Friedman

Resolver los problemas con una política rentable...

Does this mean hefty punishments for betrayals?

I don't know Ron, it seems that Florida took full advantage of electing the right leadership. It does not appear that your likely successor will continue that journey for Florida.

Doesn’t work with China. Tribalism is too strong

The wrong people make always shure that the solution will be the problem: #stingflation @stimalus

Milton Friedman is always and everywhere a nasty person.

Ya'll never solve "our problem". Because word "politically" is superfluous here. It is either profitable, or not. "Politically" implies disregard - even for profit. But what is "politically profitable" then? That which expands your power. Power to ignore you and your problems.

Milton Friedman was an idiot

Incentives matter

Cambio cultural se llama. Muy dificil.

🎯 Voting doesn't work

Trump is wrong person in some people’s view, but he does things correctly.

👌👌☝️🙏

Ok. How do you do that?

Enter Donald Trump

The question is how do you do that?

Spoken like a true jew "you gotta convince us is profitable to not screw you over, goyim".

The correct words are "change the system." The system will do what some people like or dislike.
