‘Trust Us - We’re the Government’ Isn’t the Best Justification for These Huge New Power Grabs
If At This Point You Still Do - It's More Than a Little Disturbing |
He at the outset sounded good.

“I’ll let you participate in government forums, ask questions, in real time offer suggestions that will be reviewed before decisions are made. And let you comment on legislation before it is signed.…”
Then … not so much.
President Obama promised transparency and open government. He failed miserably.

The FCC Received 3.7 Million Net Neutrality Comments – September 16, 2014
The Left wasn’t pleased with the Net Neutrality order as it was then written.
Concerns for the new rules center around “fast lanes” and “slow lanes”….
And when it came time to impose the new, immensely larger power grab?
Title II is 1934 landline telephone law – now woefully mis-applied to the Internet. As anyone with an IQ above nine on a warm day can tell you – just about all of these laws and regs have absolutely no applicable bearing on the 21st Century Internet.
And now there are all sorts of new ways for the government to tax the Web.
But fret not, the FCC says.
“(F)orbearance” refers to a special magic power that Congress gave the FCC…which gives the FCC the power to say “you know that specific provision of law that Congress passed? We decide it really doesn’t make sense for us to enforce it in some particular case, so we will “forbear” (hence the term ‘forbearance’) from enforcing it.”…
How confident are we…that every single government (official) will – in perpetuity and for always – leave these new powers (and taxes) on the table? And not use them…again? And again? And…?
When they have set themselves up to do so – by vastly overreaching their existing authority with their illegal imposition of Title II Reclassification? The huge sting that makes all the subsequent others possible?
When the very nature of Title II itself “doesn’t make sense for us to enforce” on the Internet?
“Trust us – we’re the government” shouldn’t be enough for just about anyone anymore.
