By the way, I'm seeing lots of libertarian blogs complaining these days about protecting Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, and corporate welfare in general.

It's not always topical, but when it is there are lots of complaints.

If you look, you can find it too.

“They completely deny any effect of corporate welfare on increasing income inequality choosing instead to assume it's all related to productivity and people earning what they keep.”

Citation Needed

“Almost never comment on” and “Completely deny” are very different things.

John,

I read multiple libertarian blogs. They almost never comment on corporate welfare and are completely harangued and fixated by any social welfare.

They completely deny any effect of corporate welfare on increasing income inequality choosing instead to assume it's all related to productivity and people earning what they keep.

If we are gonna talk about honesty, democratic transparency and transfer programs I suggest we include fed/treasury policy... that being to privatize profit and socialize losses to the benefit of those on top.

We do. We're the only ones in fact. But nobody listens. Mainstream policy, Left and Right, simply doesn't go there. They simply make excuses for the fundamental flaws in Fed Reserve policy and blame its mistakes on each other.
