Tom Woods, author of Rollback, was a recent guest on the Dennis Miller radio show. This was just an awesome performance by Woods.
The interview starts off slow, but by the end, Woods goes head-to-head against Miller, in a polite, diplomatic but straightforward manner. To Miller's credit, he knows when he has a guest with superior knowledge, states the fact and calls out Woods for "agitating his melon."
Very cool. The interview is here.

A big credit to Miller for that.
ReplyDeleteWoods references a Peter Schiff interview with a social security actuary. Anyone have that clip?
Probably referencing Chuck Blahous. Maybe. You'll have to listen.

When Miller asked about the proposed budget cuts, Woods said they were "like saving ten cents on a trip to the moon".

Thanks, guys. The SS=Ponzi content comes in to play at 8:50 in from TanGeng's first link. There's a one min. commercial break, then Brahous fumbles around for a minute and a half while Schiff shreds his "logic". The best Brahous can muster is SS is not a Ponzi scheme because SS is not *intended* to be a Ponzi scheme. Schiff says the difference is that participation in a Ponzi scheme is voluntary, while participation in SS is not.
ReplyDeleteOne 'l' on melon, sir.
ReplyDeleteGreat site that you have!
Tom needs his own show!!!
