"Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government"

The quote by Milton Friedman suggests that people typically look towards the government to secure customers, maybe through policies or policies. However, Friedman argues that there is a higher need to secure customers from the government itself-- that is, making sure that federal government actions and interventions do not harm consumers. Simply put, while the government might have a role in protecting customers, it is very important to ensure that it does not overstep its borders and unintentionally trigger damage.
