I have two points to make: 1. My professionally unskilled mother raised 7 children by herself. As a welder in a shipyard in 1944, she worked the night shift for the extra 10 cents an hour. She made a deal with a fellow worker who lent her $1000 to buy a two family house and in return she took him in as a boarder. His board and room money was used to repay the $1000 loan. We lived in one half of the house and rented the other which paid the mortgage. My mother went on to own a few rental houses over the next ten years until the last child left home. She became a housekeeper for wealthy people and traveled the world. All it takes is hard work and willingness to take a risk to succeed. 2. I worked for HUD from 1988 to 1994 as a computer specialist. The amount of money that was spent wastefully was appalling. The 1994 budget for the agency was 25 "B"illion dollars, 82% of that money was the cost of running the agency and 18% went to help people to buy a home. What a waste of tax money.

Videographer: Please give us the visual experience of the audience. She has built her talk around her slides, so we should see them at all times. The simplest option Is simply to zoom out - this is closest to the audience experience. Although I like to watch the speaker's delivery, it's not more important than the slides that she's addressing. Thanks for an otherwise excellent production.

The larger the number of individuals a bureaucracy serves, the more arbitrary it has to be. I don’t remember who I heard say that. I think they were talking about federal taxes and government spending and how each individual is the most qualified expert on how they would spend their money but I think it applies to bureaucracies hovering over large populations as well.

If one looks back the BEST growth is able to be acheived when you have a partnership between State & Private. Goal of State is not directly run private --- NOPE not this. Goal is for state to build infrastructure & fund research tech, energy, medicine -ect and to enact policy that allow business to grow. NOT to create bullshit regulations that are meant to price little guy out and to make vast monopolies (this is what govt does now and it is destroying our economy).

Love how people commenting didnt watch the video and completely missed 30:00 which explains how Nixon (Rep.) continued. Why cause all this was started cause over 20% of the country was in poverty and many where homeless. Without manufacturing jobs and no better ideas this was the only way for some people to actually have a roof over their heads.
