Re: Approval... said by bigunk:"meaning that once closed, the deal could take another year or more for approval." Meaning finding the right congressmen and determining the right amount to bribe them with. No, meaning that bureaucrats take way too long to do anything. If regulatory agencies aren't given time limits to rule, then they would take forever given the nature of bureaucrats. The FCC, for certain things, have limits defining when they must approve or disapprove. I am not sure what those limits are, if any, on ruling on mergers.

USA | You're right. They take way too long. Why? They're waiting for the stack of moolah to get high enough. It's a game. |

Yeah, Congress works in a lot of shitty ways, but it's always a no-win situation with you people.

USA | True that. Never works for we the people. Or if it does, it's the small shit that makes no real difference in our lives. Then the politicians crow about how effective they are by showing us how they moved quickly on ineffective things. They then get voted in again, and it's wash-rinse-repeat.

There is not a man in the country that can't make a living for himself and family. But he can't make a living for them AND his government, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people.

Like the $2 from Verizon to Florida customers...
