In reply to Ocsays. Is there not a little teenage girl you need to abuse Ocsays? I know you were a great defender of Parker and Randle gunning down Ashley MacDonald. Real brave guy you are? Not! :)

Your snout has been stuffed in the trough slop for so long I think you’ve developed cerebral hypoxia, old boy. Your comments are making less and less sense as time moves on. Go get a neuro workup. Make sure you tell the doc you were a career gubmint employee where cerebral hypoxia is considered a normal condition by many brain specialists.

Ocobserver, LetitCollapse, Beezlebub, JustUs, or whatever sock puppet name you’re going by these days. Me thinks it’s time for you to call it quits, because your strawman days are over. “If you only had a brain”, you might be dangerous.

Whatever piece of paper Krugman was awarded I would use as a doggy-squeeze pickup bag, as I would with Obola’s nobel peace prize. Both are total losers undeserving of any such awards. Both have caused tremendous damage to our country. IMO Obola should be charged with treason. If it’s good enough for Snowden, it’s good enough for him! 🙂

In reply to LetitCollapse. Krugman was awarded the Nobel Prize for economics, not the Peace Prize. Please try to keep up.

You didn’t mention in your tribute that Tullock coined a theory referred to as “rent-seeking”. Rent seeking is when a monopolistic corporation uses their financial position to lobby politicians in order to create legislation with the intent of increasing their profits. (Can you say “ObolaCare”)? This can result in moral hazard when politicians make policy decisions based on the lobby instead of the efficiency of the policy.
This pretty much describes the reason for the global economic meltdown of 2008 and IMO will be the cause of the eventual financial collapse of the United States of America. In common language it’s referred to as “Pay to Play”. This is why Americans spend 20% of our GDP on health care. It is why Big Oil rapes us fiancially at the gas pumps. This is why the Too Big To Fail banks are allowed to collectively launder trillions of narco dollars and not one bankster is indicted, let alone imprisoned.
It’s a shame that Mr. Tullock was not a household name. Instead they give all the accolades to goofballs like Paul Krugman who couldn’t pick a winner in a one-horse race. Everything he says turns out to be the opposite of what he claims. His nobel peace prize is about as worthless as POTUS Obola’s, who turned out to be one of the biggest war mongers ever to inhabit the white house.
RIP, Mr. Tullock. You never got the recognition that you deserved, sir. These idiot scammers will continue to violate all your theories until the entire nation is nothing more than one big soup kitchen!!! You’ll get the last laugh! 🙂

When did Gordon Tullock win his Nobel Prize for economics? Oh, that’s right, he never did. In fact, those economists who have actually bee awarded the Nobel for their work think he’s a crackpot. Even Uncle Miltie disregarded Trullock’s claims in large part.
