Today's resource isfive minutes of Milton Friedman. It will sound quite familiar to anyone who's been exposed to the propaganda of "American Exceptionalism"... but corrected in some very important ways. There isn't much substance to the five minutes, but it effectively demonstrates the flaws in the rhetoric of "fiscal conservatives" when talking to lefties.
It's actually an excerpt from a series of lectures that became a TV series and a book. I've read parts of the book and seen about half of the TV show, so I can't speak for the whole thing, but I recommend giving them a look, as the parts I have seen are legit. While the five-minute video from today is more rhetoric than substance, the book and the TV series is much more meaty.
