7 PROBLEMS THAT COULD derail the global recovery. Since it’s an “HO” gauge recovery, it wouldn’t take much . . .

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:

The Law School Admission Council confirmed on Wednesday that, with about 90 percent of applications for next year received, the number of applicants is down 11 percent from the same time last year. That’s the lowest it has been at this point since 2001.

Experts attribute the decline to the rising cost of law school and the diminished job prospects for graduates—factors that have resulted in a flurry of news articles and blog entries questioning the value of a law degree. In addition, with the economy slowly improving, some students who might have headed to law school to delay entering the work force are feeling more optimistic about getting jobs today, admissions officials say.

The University of Kansas School of Law, for instance, extended its deadline by one month, to April 15, but it still expects applications to be down 15 percent to 20 percent from last year.

Ultimately, the payoff has to justify the investment.

POPULAR MECHANICS gets started with a Nissan Leaf. “Downstairs in PM’s home, at 300 West 57th Street in New York City, electricians have just completed the installation of a 208-volt charging station, making our home base one of the first office towers in the city with that capability. . . . Aerovironment’s Richard Gershman wasn’t at liberty to speak about the cost of the actual charger, but Nissan is saying that the typical Level 2 charger installation will cost as much as $2000. If this triggers an upgrade to 200-amp service, the total cost could be substantially more. The installation is relatively simple for a licensed electrician, but the work will require a permit from the local building department and and an inspection after the work is completed.”

A president who won his party’s nomination as the most consistent opponent of unpopular interventions abroad has become an apostle of liberal war. Not since Saul went to Damascus has there been such a dramatic conversion. . . . Like Wilson, President Obama is going to find it easier to fight for humanitarian ideals than to make them prevail.”

Making things more uncomfortable for Obama, three of his most intimate corporate friends — General Electric, Duke Energy and Exelon — are deeply involved in nuclear energy.

PRIORITIES: Obama issues veto threat over union measure in FAA bill.

UPDATE: A reader emails: So let’s look at how one of those union employees performed recently. “Seriously, a unionized air traffic controller literally asleep in the tower at the main airport for the federal capitol? And now the president threatens to veto a bill that slightly curtails the power of the union protecting that guy? Remember these ATC union types say they’re all about safety but c’mon. The campaign ad writes itself.” Heh.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Another reader responds:

Just a quick correction to an update from a reader that you published. As an update to Obama issues veto threat over union measure in FAA bill. on March 30, you published a link from a reader regarding the supervisor (not air traffic controller) that fell asleep on the mid shift at DCA. Supervisors are not union members, at least not at the FAA. If you want to see what union controllers are doing, might I recommend http://www.natca.org/ULWSiteResources/natcaweb/Resources/file/Conferences/2011ArchieLeaguebooklet.pdf ?

It’s easy to demonize people without knowing the underlying facts. For Federal air traffic controllers, our pay scales were cut 30% in 2006. No such cut was enacted for FAA management (or any other FAA employees, for that matter.) When you see someone in Congress (or air traffic’s good friend, Robert Poole) point at the outrageous level of compensation received by controllers, you can be virtually assured that the salary they are using for comparison is that of a supervisor, not a controller. It does pay well, but not nearly as well as management, and that pay comes at a substantial physical and mental cost.

The FAA Reauthorization Bill would allow us to have a concrete budget for maintenance, staffing, and technological improvements. We’ve been working under a series of continuing resolutions for several years now. Parts of the system are to the point where just treading water is becoming difficult to impossible. For example, our Runway Incursion Device (RID) system is now several years past the end of its service life. (It provides a visual and aural warning regarding a closed or occupied runway.) We have been advised that replacement parts are no longer available, so when it breaks, it will stay broken. The deployment schedule for its replacement is based on getting an actual authorization bill passed, not the multi-year series of continuing resolutions we’ve seen. We’ve got efficiency and safety improvements pending for the air traffic system that will save us all billions of dollars as consumers. Yes, it may cost us some actual money as taxpayers, but the resulting savings for us as consumers will be several times greater. If we could get our overlords in Congress to stop using FAA Reauthorization as a vehicle for pork or political grandstanding, we might be able to enact some of the improvements that are currently in a holding pattern. Instead, we’ll probably see these improvements continue to be held hostage to whatever “flavor of the month” the Dems and Repubs think will score them the most brownie points with their respective bases.

When politics makes the air traffic system less efficient than it can be, we all end up paying for it in higher ticket prices and cost of goods. (If I’ve got a line of 6 air carriers at a runway and have to delay the first one for a minute, that’s actually 6 minutes of fuel, crew costs, engine life, value of time for 900 people, etc. that just got added to the cost of the commercial aviation system.)

There is also an automatic assumption that “privatizing” air traffic will somehow always be more cost effective than what we are already doing. It’s an article of faith, much like Socialists/Communists always seem to think that their system will work (despite a century of mass graves, economic failure, and oppression) if only the right people were running things. The world already has a wide variety of air traffic control systems in use. There are public, private, and public/private air traffic systems all around the world. The US system has the lowest cost per operation in the developed world. We also have the safest system, while running more traffic than the rest of the world combined. Rather than automatically demonizing people that are trying to improve what is already the safest, busiest, and most cost-effective air traffic system in the world, I’d ask your readers to find the working business model out there in the world that will out-perform what we are doing now. Not just an automatic assumption that a private enterprise just has to be more efficient, but a system in use somewhere else. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but I am from Missouri on this. Show me. Or should we just assume that it will be more efficient if the right people are running it?

If you chose to publish any portion of this, please do not include my name or contact information. Thanks!

Well, Canada has privatized air traffic control. But I suppose we can’t expect to become as hardcore free-market as them.

WISCONSIN: WSEU CIRCULATING BOYCOTT LETTERS:

Members of Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, have begun circulating letters to businesses in southeast Wisconsin, asking them to support workers’ rights by putting up a sign in their windows.

If businesses fail to comply, the letter says, “Failure to do so will leave us no choice but (to) do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means ‘no’ to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members.”

What’ll they do if people boycott ‘em back — by not paying taxes?

Not only do they seem stressed out, but they don’t have enough time to concentrate on any one thing that they may prefer to do over other activities. Are there any free range kids left? It would seem that this kind of hyper-parenting removes much joy from both parties.

Yes, it does.

So though U.S. housing continues losing value–U.S. home prices declined in January, continuing a downward trend that began in August, with average U.S. home prices retreating to summer 2003 levels, according to the S&P Case-Shiller home-price indexes–property tax revenues continue their inexorable rise. . . .

Plus, from the article, this local color:

The nuclear meltdown was bad enough, but the rolling blackouts added even more uncertainty. You couldn’t be sure if you could make it home at night because the trains could stop at anytime. We had to give ourselves a margin of 2-3 hours for any type of travel because the train schedules were so uncertain.

At the same time, staple items like bottled water and dry goods disappeared from shelves within days of the earthquake. You had to literally race out to check store shelves because you weren’t sure how long the food runs would last. With a gasoline shortage going on at the same time, it was questionable how long shelves could stay stocked. The convenience store underneath my apartment was almost stripped bare of food.

Another reason why self-sufficiency is important, and why trains may not be so great as a substitute for cars.

TARP INSPECTOR GENERAL: Bank bailout mostly benefited banks. “Worse, Treasury apparently has chosen to ignore rather than support real efforts at reform, such as those advocated by Sheila Bair, the chairwoman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to simplify or shrink the most complex financial institutions. In the final analysis, it has been Treasury’s broken promises that have turned TARP — which was instrumental in saving the financial system at a relatively modest cost to taxpayers — into a program commonly viewed as little more than a giveaway to Wall Street executives.”

Who could have seen that coming?
