Indeed we will miss you Walter Williams (rip December 2, 2020). When I hosted the showing of his documentary “State Against Blacks” at Kenyon college in 1985, most of the otherwise highly educated liberal arts majors had never even heard these basic libertarian economic arguments. In fact most of the attendees believed that the documentary was the usual fare of grievances. His very different perspective was refreshing in the intellectual debate.

When my Dad died at age 31 in 1967 he had been self-employed (with NO Insurance of any type). My Mom was only 28yo and a "housewife" with no job. We NEVER got any form of Welfare, Housing, Food Stamps and other nonsense. She found a Job and Life Went On. It was Pride and Dignity that got us through. Both my Sisters and I got multiple College degrees and made it solidly into the Middle Class. Welfare keeps people down. We were dirt poor but never gave it a thought. As a kid, I didn't even realize we were "poor" until I had a family of my own and looked back on my Life. In the USA, at least, anyone can make it IF they are willing to put in the effort and not fear School or Work. A "victim" will remain in a prison of their own design...

acajudi100: I hate when many people mix welfare and social security. His father paid for social security, that is not welfare. Even with social security, the mother never relied on any kind of welfare, only to strong work ethics and willing to care own family.

Take away the automatic loans given to any student who wants it, and enrollment rates would drop just long enough for nearly every college in the country to lower its tuition. A college with half the students it is used to cannot survive. So, they enter into the market place and compete for students.

Towards the end of the interview he is open about some very scary aspects in terms of being ready to leave a failing country. This is a subject that has been on my mind for the last few years... Thanks for the interview Mr Gillespie. I also appreciate that you asked a number of hard questions that honest libertarians must be able to confront... -

I agree that a pell grant can and does change lives. that being said to say that without the pell grant no poor person would go to college is a fallacy.. Before government got involved in 'big education' poor people could and did go to college. They worked, they borrowed money etc. Once of the prime reasons college is so expensive is because of government involvement in financing. Every time they get involved with something it skews the natural market and causes unintended consequences

He was born in 1936. His father left him when he was very young, and his family moved to a housing project when he was 10 (i.e. in 1946). I though such things didn't happen before Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society." Interesting. "When I was choosing a wife to marry, I didn't give every woman an equal opportunity." That's excellent.
