Exactly . And doing it after midterms gives Pence two years of policy he can blame on Trump or himself as he sees fit as Pence goes into his reelection campaign . <| sep |> Agree . My payments were very manageable though $ 25 a month . I am also not advising that the card be used , just using it once for something small to acquire the free vision care . <| sep |> Think you know what bambi was about ? !!?! THINK AGAIN <| sep |> Oh God . YES PLEASE ! !!<| sep |> No their economy boom is just slowing down . Chinese manufacturing jobs are literally moving out of China to places in SE Asia like Vietnam , so yeah . <| sep |> As with most government agencies , one of the reasons the FCCs exists is to protect consumers from corporations , and the question is who holds the power in this country ? The government or the corporations ? At their worst , regulatory agencies make it more difficult and expensive to do business , to the point that only the biggest players can afford to play leading to monopoly conditions like we have in telecommunications . Antiregulation people say relaxing regulations will open up the market to new business opportunities and competition , or that abolishing regulations is the only fair way for everyone to compete which is the extreme view . At their best , regulatory agencies protect the public from harmful or unfair practices of corporations by passing safety laws or fair business practice laws , and it ' s especially important when there ' s a monopoly or extreme lack of competition . The extreme version of this viewpoint is for the government to simply take it away from private business and do the work itself shifting the burden from the consumer to the taxpayer . Ideally there ' s a middle ground that best protects the public and allows for business expansion and growth , and finding that middle ground is is what drives all public policy and controversy , esp . when the middle ground keeps shifting due to technological development like it does in the world of communications . In the worst case scenario , you get regulatory capture , where the regulating agency becomes controlled by the business it ' s supposed to be regulating . Then you only get regulations that benefit the biggest corporations and the government agency no longer represents the public . You could argue this has happened to the FCC , although Tom Wheeler has worked to upset the apple cart a little .
