Tornado Alley (PROG)

[StephanieVanbryce]

Brad Delong, rocket scientist

by Michael O'Hare - September 18th, 2010

Prof. Henderson’s judgment continues to fail him, and he apparently went up against Brad Delong, something the really smart and really wise and really well-informed do with great caution. Who was it that rush in where angels fear to tread, again? Remember the Black Knight in Monty Python’s Holy Grail?

Brad attached a rocket engine to my Piper Cub post and sent it into orbit with substantial added fact and analytic payload.

In Which Mr. Deling Responds to Someone Who Might Be Professor Todd Henderson

I had published a link and a long excerpt from Michael O'Hare's rant after reading University of Chicago Law Professor Todd Henderson.

And now somebody purporting to be University of Chicago Professor Todd Henderson writes:

I'm shocked and saddened at the personal nature of these attacks. Wow.

As for Mr. Deling' attacks... I would like to note for the record that I have not made any attacks, or indeed comments at all--that all I did was to republish pieces of Michael O'Hare's attack. And I was thinking if I had any comments worth reading or any time to write them down, and deciding that I did not.

But being called "Deling" makes me think I have no choice.

So here is the rest of the comment by Professor Henderson (or the guy purporting to be him):

let me make just two observations. First, according to several tax sites, my taxes will go up by thousands, not down. I'm not a tax lawyer, so I'm not sure why.

Second, his [i.e., Michael O'Hare's] attempted budget leaves out a large category--education and daycare. This year, they will come close to $60,000, which is about $165 per day. Subtract this from the crude budget and that leaves $80 per day for five people.

But all this avoids the question of why we think the government will better allocate some part of whatever my income is.

So here is what I have to say:

This is the perfect case of a so-called 'small government' 'no taxes' conservative being exposed as a liar (not by being called a liar) but by being presented with facts how this 'poor rich man only making 455.000 is a complete CON which only the uneducated could swallow ...boo! an excellent job by both Brad Delong AND Michael O'Hare. Also ..Brad has posted Henderson's completely false post.
