But his commentaries on economics reveal that he is totally clueless in his supposed area of "expertise".

His brain dead father, Herb Stein, was the idiot who came up with the Stalinist wage and price control scheme during the Nixon regime.<br /><br />Ben Stein wasn't funny in the Ferris Beuhler movie. He's not witty or funny when he bullies lower income people like the parking lot attendant. And he's not witty or funny when he criticizes people who are protesting the welfare queens on Wall Street who used their pull to get their gangster pals in government and the Federal Reserve to counterfeit trillions of dollars for them.Andy "In Japan"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04505038501136945817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-89051890041407732232011-10-12T13:00:06.042+09:002011-10-12T13:00:06.042+09:00Ben Stein Sidenote:

In the first episode he did, he played a college loan office who tells a poor college student in Jan. 1987: <b>"If you want any new government money, you will have to declare yourself a third world country and flirt with communism."</b> <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kN2ehQsle8c#t=639s<br /><br />I guess it is not strange in America to have TV teaching pre-teens the difficult choices government bureaucrats have to make: national welfare or international welfare for political ends.diego.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400541545619526022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-17286542888124090392011-10-12T10:04:49.466+09:002011-10-12T10:04:49.466+09:00I don't get the car-park story: "I, of co...I don't get the car-park story: "I, of course, picked her up". If he's right there, why should anyone move to help her? <br /><br />I saw Ben Stein once, on a Peter Schiff video, where Stein (along with all the other "experts") laughed at Schiff for predicting a financial crisis in 2008. That was in 2006/7. The rest is history and so is Stein as far as I'm concerned. <br /><br />And just what the h*** is a "righteous" lunch? Pompous twit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
