Congress to standardize air fares.

[Downwind]

Lack of regulation is why there is a huge mass in the 99% protesting the 1%. All your beloved government politicians, (whoever they may be), don't regulate beacuse they work for the big banks and Wall St. that don't want to be held by any rules for 'fair play'.

Are you stupid or just ignorant son?

There are currently 72,536 pages in the US Tax Code and 82,590 pages in the Federal Registry.

This doesn't include State Laws (of which there are 50), county laws (3,141), and the roughly 19,000 incorporated areas (cities) with municipal laws and ordinances.

Where, pray tell, is this "lack of regulation"?

Ohhh...and...to intimate you're a Democrat...vs....actually voting Democrat....two different things.
How you vote publicly (money, lobbying efforts, to gain influence, etc...,), versus how you vote privately (behind that curtain).....well.....

 

[Poahi]

Can anyone point to where in the Constitution the Federal Government gets the authority to do this?

The Constitution is a general guide, a vague reference point, kinda like the painted centerline on a runway.

 

[The Prussian]

Boy....we sure could use someone in high office who had a general idea on Constitutional Law...:erm:........:cartman:

After wasting 30 minutes of my life that I'll never get back, watching PMSNBC, the only thing I can say is that, "you're wrong!"

Then why is he still a democrat?

You guys like to get nostalgic- democrats in the 80's were WAY more liberal than Obama- get off your crack attack Fox news as your only source and you'd see that liberals are disapproving of Obama bc he hasn't been liberal enough and acquiesced too much to republicans

Examples?

Southwest and others fighting new airfare price rule

Some airlines are blocking a new rule that would require them to include all government taxes and fees in airfare prices.


Michael Clinton
Web Producer - Jacksonville Business Journal
Southwest Airlines***** ***** , Spirit Airlines***** ***** and Allegiant***** ***** are asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to block a new U.S. Department of Transportation rule that will go into effect Jan. 24, the New York Times reports.
The new rule requires any advertised price for air travel to include all government taxes and fees.
Previously, airlines and travel agencies could list the fees separately, meaning travelers sometimes missed the fine print disclaimers about charges that often added 20 percent or more to the ticket price.
The airlines requesting the block are saying the new rule violates commercial free speech rights.
Southwest is the busiest carrier at Jacksonville International Airport, flying 30 percent of passenger traffic in and out of the First Coast in October.

Exactly why this rule is needed. Airlines depending on deception.

Regulations? Pffft. So what if they force the airline to fix a plane before it flies or limit the amount of hours you can fly.

How are our companies supposed to make a buck if they can't do it through obfuscation? It ain't 'Merican!
