Re: No
said by XBL2009  :We need 100mbps, better health care, electric cars, bridges rebuilt, hospitals built, rebuilt school systems. If only the US would stop wasting so much money on stupid things. It will never happen. Issawi's Law of Conservation of Evil states: "The total amount of evil in any system remains constant. Hence, any diminution in one direction - for instance, a reduction in poverty or unemployment - is accompanied by an increase in another, e.g. crime or air pollution."
Therefore, you can never remove all the waste or inefficiency because it will only pop up in some other form. Also, as an immutable law of the Universe, it cannot be changed.

| I believe the current administration has caused this law to become out of whack and that the supply of evil has increased substantially. This implies that we are due for an uptick in good to bring the supply of evil back to it's original balance.
that being said, it ain't gonna happen with broadband, because the government of this country just doesn't seem to give a sh1t if we have fast, inexpensive, widely deployed broadband or not. |

I think calling that a "Law" is a little generous. Maybe a Rule of thumb, or Superstition. |
