AT&T HANGS UP ON T-MOBILE


AT&T has bowed to federal regulators concerned that its proposed purchase of T-Mobile would drive up prices, reduce competition and stall innovation; it is cancelling its $39 buyout deal that would have made it the nation’s largest phone company. 

COMMENTS:
Back in the ‘30’s, they decided to split up some of the major oil companies and other conglomerates and things got better in American business.  I think the time has come for that to happen again.  But, big business has big lobbyists and that’s how things got the way they are in Washington.  All of this nonsense has to stop, and there’s not one candidate talking about it. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. With the death of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il, what do you think will happen next?  (Theresa ~ Half Moon Bay, CA)
A. First, they’ll have a funeral.  Then, don’t look for any changes in U.S. – North Korean relations. 

Q. Now that they have really torpedoed Newt, he is dropping in some polls and it looks more and more like Romney is going to win the Republican nomination.  How do you feel about that?  (Chaz ~ Bend, OR)
A. Romney will not get my vote in the primaries and, should he win anyway, I will not vote for him in November; nor will I vote for Obama.  Neither one of them deserves to be President.   They'll need a "None of the Above" slot on the ballots to get me to vote. 

Q. How do you feel about John Boehner’s insistence that the House will not pass the two-month payroll tax cut extension, but will try again for one year?  (Kim ~ Reno, NV)
A. Here they go again.  The House Republicans will again cave in at the last moment.  History is bound to repeat itself, as it has again and again and again.
