FCC Ready to Control Prices and Services of Web Providers

You knew this was coming. Even if they end up NOT regulating prices and services, the bureaucrats have set up a perfect game for the politicians to garner lots of money from lobbyists, haven't they?

US "Cracking Down" on Child Agricultural Workers

Note that in the piece it mentions the blueberry crop that has had people flocking to pick for years... Note also how the piece fails to mention the fact that most children choose to work in the fields, and that, especially in the cases of migrant workers, their options back home are relatively WORSE, which is why they take the opportunity to work for farmers in the US. Some might say that the US farmers are "exploiting" the migrant workers, but that is a fallacy. In most cases, the profit margins for the farmers is very slim, because the PRODUCTS don't fetch beyond a certain level of remuneration from the consumer. The consumer is unwilling to pay beyond a certain level of price, and will choose another option once that threshold is reached.

Canadian Gubment to Reassess "Priorities" in Bankrupt Socialized Medical System

No kidding. This is only the umpteenth time they've had to "reassess" things. Costs keep going up and up and up. Duh?

Perhaps this time they'll take Tom Brokaw's suggestion and let the old people die. Or turn to cannibalism; that could cut costs.

Transportation Sec Proposes More Unconstitutional and Burdensome Rules

This never ends.

 

In the article, the Transportation Sec, LaHood, is quoted as saying, "passengers have rights". Sure, passengers have rights, and so do the airline business owners and operators. They ALL make exchanges with each other in the market that they intend to be beneficial to themselves. What LaHood really means is that the federal government will begin to tell one side what to do in that private exchange (which is already royally messed up by standing government regulations and the air route and security system the gubment has imposed) -- then the gubment will claim they are "helping".

 

Check this out.

TSA Keeping Files on Fliers Who Make Security Thugs Feel "Threatened"

Senate Passes Massive Financial Regulation Bill

Look forward to all your private transactions being monitored by the federal government, massive powers to bailout banks given to the Federal Reserve, mortgage controls and loan controls, and further dampening placed on economic innovation and investment.

The bill still has to be "reconciled" with the House version.

Obama Admin's Push for Forced Drug Tests in Local Doctors' Offices Exposes Failure of "War" on Drugs

Took them long enough, and it's only a rhetorical tool to get people to accept the invasion of privacy they're going to eventually push.

Take a look. All they needed to do was contact Law Enforcement Against Prohibition for the stats on the amounts spent on the drug "war" and the numbers of people still using "hard" drugs.

Kagan's Law Review Piece: Federal Reg of Speech Can be Fine!

Of COURSE she would think that. To her, rights can be attenuated if there's a "compelling state interest"...

Translated: The individual is always less important than government. You shut up now...

This clearly indicates that this person has no clue what the First Amendment actually states, and why.

Fed Drug Policy to Mix with Socialized Medicine - Will Eventually Force Drug Tests

In reading this article, how long do you think it will be before federal officials begin REQUIRING doctors to do urine/blood tests on patients as part of the gubment's ALREADY unconstitutional anti-drug agenda?

As we've said before, goodbye Fourth Amendment.
