kudos:4 | Gov't should not get in to business of setting prices Unless we want to get in to a totally planned economy, with 5 year plans and price control authorities, the gov't would do well to avoid telling private businesses on what they can charge. This has been tried in the past here and in other countries and it always turns out to be an economic disaster. |

Sterling, VA | Yes, because naturally the only options are lazier-faire capitalism and Soviet planned economies. Surely we couldn't have some limited regulations to keep corporations from taking advantage of people. Nah. |

4 edits | Well said. I always love the false choice of unfettered capitalism or food lines. As if some kind of regulatory balance isn't possible. "All or none" is a bunk choice put forward by people who want to pretend that protecting their own wallet is some kind of sophisticated political ethos. |

Thinking is hard for those that see things that way, Glenn Beck told them that the world is ending and they need to buy lots of gold so theyre scared. |

The U.S. isn't lagging behind the rest of the world when it comes to broadband because Americans want to "use" bandwidth. They don't actually "need" bandwidth. |
