Moore writes: About 10 years ago, I broke my leg playing basketball. After I came out of surgery, with a cast stretching from my ankle to the top of my leg, an orderly asked me whether I had ever used crutches before. I hadn't, so he showed me what to do, swinging through them from one end of the room to the other. The whole lesson lasted about 90 seconds. When I got my hospital bill, I saw that I had been charged $150 for "gait training on crutches." I did what all insured Americans… [read post]

I have always thought that this was one of Tyler Cowan's most interesting posts, and that is saying something. It applies two different economic principles in a nonobvious way to long distance relationships. Sure, we can all apply diminishing marginal utility to various aspects of romantic relationships, but the Archian and Allen Theorem? [read post]

I received this e mail from the American Enterprise Institute about the recently released report from the British government suggesting the desirability of immediate action on global warming:The just-released Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, which was commissioned by the British government, is based on worst-case climate scenarios. It also invokes optimistic economic studies to understate the cost of massive greenhouse gas emission reduction and thus make the case for massive … [read post]

Robert Rector and Rachel Sheffield issue a report on the state of the poor in America. The short answer is that the poor, by historical standards, are doing well, enjoying what were considered luxuries a few generations ago. President Obama, as usual, seeks to obscure these issues and to implement a new definition of poverty that assumes economic growth never helps the poor. Rector has issueds these reports over the years, and they are always informative. Reviewing the report, John Hideraker sums it… [read post]

With President Obama's Administration doing so many horrible things, from destroying private health insurance to spending public funds on its allies like a drunken sailor to its shabby treatment of American allies abroad, I have struggled to find something to like about these guys. So far, I have not found anything significant. But the search appears to be over. The Obama Administration is prosecuting an intelligence official who leaked classified information. Bravo! Really. The Bush… [read post]

bad on Israel. Very sad, indeed. The funny thing is this: Does anyone imagine that if Israel were wiped out tomorrow -- if it were all Gazastan or even something closer to Jordanistan, and the world were deprived of the technological and intellectual firepower of the state of Israel, and there were one less democracy in the Middle East -- that the United State's job of fighting Iran would be easier or that Palestinians in the West Bank would be better off? Does anyone really believe that? Well,… [read post]

The D.C. Circuit has now struck down FCC action taken to institute net neutrality. For a long time, I couldn't, as a casual observer of this field, figure out what net neutrality was. Neutrality sounded good, but what did it mean? I am still not sure I understand it completely, but there is clearly a portion of it that I understand and that is implicated in this case. In this case, the cable company, Comcast, sought to "slow down customers' access to a service called BitTorrent, which… [read post]

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a glorious day with a victory for Scott Brown in Massachusetts. But whether or not he wins, there is a question for Democrats -- how should they vote on the health care bill? Will they be more likely to be reelected if they vote against the bill now -- either after voting for the exact same bill previously or after voting in favor of a different bill (such as those House members who supported the House bill with the Stupak Amendment)? One hears endlessly the liberal… [read post]

No, not the quarterback, but he is one of the smarter ones. The left tackle (not too much surprise) and the right tackle. After that the center, and then the quarterback. The running backs, receivers, and defensive players score the lowest. How smart are these different players? The offensive tackles are as smart as newswriters. The quarterbacks as smart as those in sales. A clerical worker is way smarter than a running… [read post]
