In 'Tyranny of the Status Quo', Milton and Rose Friedman explore the phenomenon where governments tend to maintain the status quo despite initial promises of change. They discuss how leaders like Reagan and Thatcher faced resistance from an 'iron triangle' of special interests, bureaucrats, and politicians. The book also touches on various economic and social issues of the early 1980s, including government spending, inflation, and education.
WTF!? This really better be a stunt or a bad joke because if it's not then we're faced with more bad economics. This proposal is exactly the SH&% that is supposed to be ending. The government wouldn't be giving anyone "their" money back, just borrowing more to make it look like that would what happens.
