Keynesian economics is good for his industry while Austrian economics means he and his industry would have to deliver a product worth what is charged for it. That would mean risk and the goal is to eliminate all risk so we can all get rich. Think of it this way, Government is to academia as Oil is to an Oil Company Executive.

He may well want to remove all regulation and let the poor and sick depend on handouts from friends and friendly physicians. That would be a very bad idea, but it may be what he means, and I'd suppose you'd applaud it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-70461593090488170002012-06-25T11:44:34.371-04:002012-06-25T11:44:34.371-04:00He uses a weasel word like "reform" so t...He uses a weasel word like "reform" so that it's left to his audience to guess what he means, or so that he can't be pinned down as favoring one path over another.
