we'll lets see, the government has taken over Health care industry, the auto industry to some extent, the banking industry , Off Shore oil drilling and some want to take over the Internet, that's just lovely

Too bad the government couldn't focus on creating jobs!

silly bastard, they already have jobs.

The government passed a stimulus package to help create jobs; without it the recession would've been much, much worse--perhaps a depression rather than a bad recession. And the stimulus package that was passed was watered down by idiots who claimed that tax cuts would stimulate the economy more than spending money would.

I studied economics, and I'm always--really, always--amazed by people who don't have the first clue about how the economy works, spouting off about how the government should influence the economy.

Please, just shut the fuck up. Thank you.

John Maynard Keynes was one of the first economists to advocate government deficit spending as part of the fiscal policy response to an economic contraction. In Keynesian economics, increased government spending is thought to raise aggregate demand and increase consumption.

Classical economists and Austrian economists, however, believe that increased government spending exacerbates an economic contraction by shifting resources from the private sector, which they consider productive, to the public sector, which they consider unproductive. According to Austrian economists, the reason the Great Depression lasted as long as it did was because of significant government spending and government regulation of the economy.

So blow it out your ass you fucking idiot, Canada is doing well because of conservative spending and the UK is shifting their spending by a cut of 25% . We although have a fucking idiot named Barry that praises a banking industry overhaul that leaves out the two largest names, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Just how does that work, the government owns 80%. You think the stimulus worked at all, where's your proof?

Increased regulation and a heavier tax burden by increasing the size of the government and increasing the national debt to recent levels can in NO way be good for the country.

Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
Ronald Reagan


Just where did you study economics? Back of the Cracker Jacks box? So just shut the fuck up and go back to the book of Barry and revel in all the shit that is Barry, that shit for brains has got the senate and house so polarized that they can't do anything but his fucked up agenda

Obama's advisers studied economics as well. They also made very broad claims about how this and that would be completely different by now. Except that didn't really happen.

Point being... nobody cares that you studied economics. Thousands and thousands of people study economics. Thousands and thousands of people still get it wrong. Studying economics means you know more than than the average Joe, sure, it definitely doesn't mean you aren't wrong.

I studied Spanish. I'll be damned if I could carry on a conversation.

Based on your statement you must not have a clue what net neutrality is and how not having it will seriously hurt what you do for a living.

Actually Popi Bush called the Reagan plan voodoo economics ,also Reagan tripled the deficit and signed into some of the biggest tax increases in the history of the country.

Please explain what it is.

Knee jerk reaction to any more regulations Barry wants, I don't trust it
But I have read in depth about the net law they want, they just want more regulations on high usage or so they say. Did you ever think how Youtube or Facebook has impacted our lives, do you think that they would have happened if net neutrality was in place? More regulation on the net is a bad thing, it will not help us, we have to adapt to the change in the net, not the other way around.
THeir are pros and cons to everything, I don't like this and I don't think what they propose is completely thought out as the internet is ever changing, how do you control what the free wifi hotspot give out in bandwidth?

I don't give a crap about Bush, the world was worse off after his presidency, Reagan ended the cold war, yet they gave Barry a fucking Nobel Peace Prize when he planned to send more troops to Afghanistan
Reagan ended the Iran crisis, now under Barry, Iran is building a nuke.
You can pick and choose the things that Reagan did as good or bad, but the economy was better off after he was done, People had jobs. And nobody threatened us.
Right now, the local state governments are laying off cops and firemen and the Barry in charge is increasing the size of the government, increasing the size of regulations putting a strangle hold on small business , I live in California, I've seen what more regulations do to business in this state, they move to Nevada.

funny you didnt have shit to say when bush was president.hmmm
You have no idea what net neutrality is and its not more regulations. lol he is protecting your cracker ass.

What does Bush have to do with this?

Why don't you explain where my cracker ass is wrong? or are you looking at your cliff notes?

Internet has been an open network, which works on the principle of net neutrality, whether or not it should be regulated like the other mass media is a matter of debate. Today there exist several laws to curb issues like child pornography and many other illegal activities over the internet. However, there are people who believe that a complete regulation is needed for the world wide web. There are two sides to this argument. Here are some of the prominent pros and cons of Internet regulation:

Pros of Internet Regulation

A stringent internet regulation can help to curb the innumerable illegal activities over the net. Internet regulation will also help to prevent the large number of financial frauds, phishing, identity thefts, credit card thefts and many other illegal activities, which are possible because of the unregulated and unrestrained Internet activities. Although there exist several laws about child pornography or prosecutions of pedophiles, these issues are still rampant on the Internet. Internet regulation will also mean stringent policies over unjustified defamation.

Cons of Internet Regulation

A complete takeover by the government or even other telecommunication giants can lead to violation of net neutrality and will dampen effectiveness of this medium. It will be against net neutrality principle and will allow certain websites to limit their content to paid customers. Internet regulation will also tend to curb the freedom of expression, which is perhaps one of the most conspicuous factors that are instrumental in the success and popularity of this medium. For years the Internet has been an open source of information. A stringent regulation policy will mean limited access to the extensive source of information.

you said I don't give a crap about Bush, the world was worse off after his presidency

Here you go :

"Net Neutrality is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet.

Net Neutrality means that Internet service providers may not discriminate between different kinds of content and applications online. It guarantees a level playing field for all Web sites and Internet technologies.

Net Neutrality is the reason the Internet has driven economic innovation, democratic participation and free speech online. It protects the consumer's right to use any equipment, content, application or service without interference from the network provider. With Net Neutrality, the network's only job is to move data -- not to choose which data to privilege with higher quality service. "

This effects you and he is trying to protect you.its got to kill you. lol

I guess I just don't want the FCC to have any more power than they already have, I'm tired of all the new regulations that have been piled on the American people.
Remember as kids when we rode in the back of a pick up, I got a fucking $55 ticket for having a kid in the back of mine driving down my street to a friends house

Wait for republicans to get back to controlling the government so they can outlaw porn and you'll be out of a job. Just remember that ;)

I didn't bring up Bush

And I don't want more regulations piled on by the government, I don't trust them, they will get their foot in the door and there will be more taxes piled on us to pay for them

Also, you won't be too happy when net neutrality is done away with and then comcast decides to block all your sites.... because they can

You mean like Obama moved to sensor the Press?
He hates Fox, they report "ALL" his fuck ups

If you are voting based on whats good for your industry, how has the industry been doing since Barry took office?

Again, I don't trust the government

they passed healthcare we can't afford
they passed bank reform, but left out fannie and freddie
they passed the stimulus telling us that if they don't unemployment will go to 9 or 10%, but if we pass it will go to only 8%

And the government or unelected officials at the FCC wont do that to "protect the children"?
