People hired by government know who is their benefactor. people who lose their jobs or fail to get them because of the government program do not know that that is the source of their problem. the good effects are visible. the bad effects are invisible. the good effects generate votes. the bad effects generate discontent, which is as likely to be directed at private business as at the government.

More From Milton Friedman

We know, southern men declare that their slaves are better off than hired laborers amongst us. how little they know, whereof they speak! there is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us. twenty-five years ago, i was a hired laborer. the hired laborer of yesterday, labors on his own account today; and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow.

Invisible boy and here we see the invisible boy in his lovely invisible house, feeding a piece of invisible cheese to a little invisible mouse. oh, what a beautiful picture to see! will you draw an invisible picture for me?

There are three popular theories being bandied about to explain robert mueller investigation, but we have to remember that it was the donald trump administration that decided to do this. mueller is hiring some of the biggest democrat lawyer donors he can find. he's hired huge donors to barack obama, huge donors to hillary clinton. he has hired fundraising lawyers, i mean, people that are lawyers in their private sector lives who have bundled and raised money. there are some on his staff who aren't, but it's noteworthy for all of the partisan leftists that mueller has hired.

Visible things can be invisible. however, our powers of thought grasp both the visible and the invisible – and i make use of painting to render thoughts visible.

Nature is a light, and by looking at nature in her own light we will understand her. visible nature may be seen in her visible light; invisible nature may become visible if we acquire the power to perceive her invisible light.

For example, the supporters of tariffs treat it as self-evident that the creation of jobs is a desirable end, in and of itself, regardless of what the persons employed do. that is clearly wrong. if all we want are jobs, we can create any number--for example, have people dig holes and then fill them up again, or perform other useless tasks. work is sometimes its own reward. mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want. our real objective is not just jobs but productive jobs--jobs that will mean more goods and services to consume.

Barack obama thinks he's universally loved and adored because of that approval rating, which is a lie or a misrepresentation. it's mainly people that don't have the guts to tell a pollster that they disapprove of the job because of the racial component, because whenever obama's policies are on the ballot, they get skunked! if he's on ballot with them, not so bad.
