I've done a courtesy search for the term law economics for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• The Worst is Yet to Come

  Building on Rich’s post on debt, I stumbled across this article that summarizes Harrisburg, PA’s recent attempt to declare bankruptcy. Essentially, the city got themselves $310 million in debt (that’s $6,000 per resident) on an incinerator. Yes, a fucking incinerator. They took on a bad obligation, compounded it by signing a deal with the lowest bidder for renovation (lowest bidders always cost more) and are now trying to impose a commuter tax to get … Read more

• Another one bites the dust?

  Seems that last Friday, when they hoped the least amount of people possible where paying attention, that Sibelius and some of the other Obama Administration people finally came clean and admitted what every non-math & economics challenged person, i.e. conservatives, pointed out about the CLASS Act in Obamacare: only a damned liar would pretend this stuff could work. In an AP piece that no longer seems to be around – I wonder why? – we … Read more

• Smart Asses

  Shikha Dalmia had an interesting post up at Reason about why smart presidents do dumb things.

  The team of the “best and brightest” that Lyndon Johnson inherited from John F. Kennedy embroiled America in an ignominy like Vietnam—not to mention Medicare, a fiscal quagmire that, unlike Vietnam, the country can neither exit nor fix without courting bankruptcy or seriously screwing over millions of seniors.

  Moreover, George W. Bush’s failures resulted not from his alleged stupidity,

• The Law of Intended Consequences

  Who could possibly have foreseen this?

  Bank of America will become the first major bank to charge customers across the country a monthly fee to shop with their debit cards, part of a wave of changes that are eroding the low-cost model of banking that consumers have long enjoyed.

  The $5 fee will debut next year for the bank’s basic checking accounts. It will apply only to debit card purchases and not to ATM

• Left redefines patriotism again!

  Remember the good old days when anyone that vehemently hated the old Bush guard and “spoke truth to power” against them was being patriotic for evil fascist challenging government? You might not, since now that anyone doing the same, since the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania street has a (D) next to his name, gets called a racist for doing so.

  Well, it looks like we have another such a moment in the works. We got … Read more

• Green jobs company that got $535 million from Obama raided by the FBI.

  More than a year or so ago, Solyndra and other Green technology companies like it, where being touted by the progressive greens as the solution to both the economic wreck and employment disaster they wrongly, but quite successfully, wanted everyone to believe was caused by evil Boosh-Chimpy-McHitler instead of progressive government pressure on lending institutions and a myriad of schemes and scams to overcome the laws of economics and reality that eventually caused both the … Read more

• A Degree In Economics+ 1 Dollar= A Cup Of Coffee

  No one ever went broke underestimating the inefficiencies of government, such as why the Law of Economy (Ockham’s razor) is never a factor when bureaucrats get together on the topic of economics. Sure, more money can be thrown at it, with more committee’s committed to it, and more studies called for employing even more people to analyze it, when the “it” involves something so complicated, so convoluted in scope that even approaching a modicum of … Read more

• It’s not my bad priorities, lack of understanding about economics, stupid beliefs, or incompetence: it’s bad luck!

  That’s what Obama told people on the campaign trial when discussing the horrible economy we are straddled with under his presidency. So, if you will follow along here, and allow me to set this up with some facts, I will put some perspective on this claim. First off, according to Obama and the left’s reckoning, the economy went south because of evil Boosh. W’s his tax cuts for the rich and his wars to … Read more
