Lawmakers decry aircraft blocking restrictions
Lawmakers from both houses of Congress have joined the battle over the Department of Transportation’s decision to dismantle the Block Aircraft Registration Request (Barr) program, with 26 senators and 33 representatives telling DOT Secretary Ray LaHood in separate letters that it is “a troubling reversal of a decade-old policy” established to uphold the privacy rights of Americans. The senators noted that in light of advances of for-profit flight tracking services, Congress included a provision… (www.ainonline.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
We would likely be able to find out how much corporate aircraft are abused and used for non business purposes and how little executives actually pay for that luxury. The country could use the extra tax revenue to help the deficit situation
As it becomes more apparent that Obama is not going to obtain a second term, you can expect a flurry of this type of socialist imposition. The EPA will lead the parade on regulations that could not muster the votes to get through Congress and in fact, may have been forbidden by Congress but ignored by DOJ.
The new CAFE regulations will give 50-100K additional highway deaths and kill off any company that doesn't make trucks to dilute the mileage requirement (read" "non-union").
The NLRB action against Boeing was undoubtedly coordinated from the WH as were some of the FCC rulings on "Net Neutrality". ObamaCare will likely drive many of the insurance companies out of the market...as it already has to allow people to separately insure their children.
The Gulf Oil exploration is gone with 10 of the big rigs already departing for more business friendly climates...including Brazil where we are guaranteeing $4 Billion in loans for George Soros to conduct deep water drilling forbidden in our waters.
Get used to this...there will be lots more in the next year and one half. It is often very difficult to get the genie back in the bottle particularly with an enshrined bureaucracy.

Well said, John
LOL @John! Spoken like a true ditto head, kudos, sir!
At the risk of this being called a socialist imposition, too, I'd like to suggest that before anyone is allowed to post anything accusing someone of being a socialist, he be required to look up the word in a dictionary and learn what it actually means. While the word "liberal" has lost its shock value and calling someone a "socialist" is the new way of provoking shock and horror among the great unwashed, the simple fact of such accusers not having a clue what the word really means undermines the accusation completely.
Especially when by today's standards, Ronald Reagan would be dismissed as a socialist:
