From the Wall Street Journal:
"WASHINGTON -- Federal regulators are considering whether the government should take greater control of the Internet and ask consumers to pay higher phone charges in order to provide all Americans with cheaper access to broadband Internet service."
Are you kidding me?
Don't get me wrong, I have broadband, and I pay for it... My parents have Satellite because they live at the edge of nowhere... and my neighbor is on dialup still...
But RAISE my rates so that EVERYONE can get Internet access? Even those who "hate those damn computers"! You have got to be kidding me!
The Internet is just as important as electricity was is one of my favorites from this article... Come on Amy Schtaz... The proposals have "sparked criticism" is a bit of an understatement don't you think?
Government Control of the Internet is about as good as let's see:
- Post Office - Failing, can't control costs and workers are, well, prone to workplace violence and running out of money
- Social Security - Running out of money, but taking from everyone
- Medicare/Medicaid - 10 times the amount we were told it would cost, getting ripped off left and right and ummm running out of money
- Tarp - OH MY GOSH, is that working out well
- Stimulus - Created or saved jobs in places that DONT EVEN EXIST! Unemployment was supposed to top out at 8% IF we acted NOW, How is that working for you?
- HealthCare - 2,000 pages of more CRAP to pile on top of what needs to really be fixed
- Cash For Clunkers - Miss managed, ran out of funds in "weeks", needed more and guess what the biggest trade in was? Truck for newer Truck! Are you freakin kidding me!
Now you want to get into the Internet?
Someone needs to take a step back and look at what the heck Washington is trying to do... WE ARE OUT OF MONEY PEOPLE! We are not living on a budget, we are spending more than we make and we are going to go BANKRUPT!
Stop the madness!
