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.

“On account of being a democracy and run by
the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government
