Schumer at it again

[CA1900]

Heh... reminds me of the dealer I dealt with last year, who said, "Why do you keep harping on the interest rate? Isn't the payment the important thing?"

Yeah, maybe to you, dinkus...

Ha ha. I went through the same thing. I told the dealer I needed to keep the price below $20,000. He kept asking me what I was willing to spend a month. I told him none of his business (as I was going to pay cash). His response was that I could probably afford a more expensive car if I would answer his question. My response was I already have a budget and it's $20,000. If he can't work within my budget, I'll go somewhere else. I never did buy the car because I got frustrated with the dealers. That and I kind of got drunk playing craps in Vegas.

This cements his nomination for the Walter Peck Lifetime Achievement Award.

Bag fees are like crack cocaine to airline executives. And it is not cutting their own throat when every other airline jumps on the bandwagon and gives customers no safe harbor from the practice. But hey, the idea came from a Democrat, so you must automatically oppose it.

You can't make me sit no where. Who do you think you is?

Okay, as far as calling the USAir babe a beeeotch, the old boy was right. Cell phones may be used until the door is closed.

With regards to charging for checked bags, that requires ground crews, bag tags, tugs, conveyor belts, etc. All that stuff costs money, so a charge for a checked bag actually kinda makes sense.

Charging for a carry bag is nonsense.

 

[Blue Dude]

The point isn't whether there's any business justification for the charge. I think it's a stupid idea. The point is that there's no way to stretch the Constitution enough to make it within Congress' power to have any say in the matter whatever.

Ticket prices are taxable and the federal gubment gets their share.

Bag fees are fees and not taxable, hence Schumer doesn't get his "fair share".

He's not watching out for the little man, he's looking out for his pockets.
