Bad policy after bad policy.\u00a0 Often illegally imposed. As a result, the Tech Sector \u2013 1\/6 of our nation\u2019s economy, as big as health care \u2013 is hemorrhaging jobs. Tech Layoffs Hit 3-year High in First Half of 2012<\/em><\/a><\/h2>\n

And our Internet service would be better, faster and cheaper were it not for this Administration.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The damage done by taxes and regulations is often unseen.\u00a0 The money wasted – either sent to government or spent complying with ridiculous over-regulation – could have instead been invested in improving and expanding existing service, nd hiring people to make it all happen.<\/p>\n

The worst gig-and-progress-killing Administration Internet power grab of all was the December 2010 illegal imposition of Network Neutrality<\/a>. Net Neutrality eviscerates private sector investment in the infrastructure necessary to maintain and continue building the World Wide Web \u2013 exactly as ObamaCare does to private sector health care.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Robert W. McChesney is the author of several books on media and politics, professor of communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, host of the weekly talk show, Media Matters, on WILL-AM radio, and cofounder of the media reform organization Free Press – <freepress.net><\/figcaption><\/figure>Which ultimately leaves us with the government as our sole Internet Service Provider (ISP) \u2013 not at all problematic from a performance or free speech perspective. How do we know this?\u00a0 Because the Godfather of the Media \u201cReform\u201d Movement \u2013 University of Illinois professor and avowed Marxist (please pardon the redundancy) Robert McChesney \u2013 says so<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\n

\u201cAt the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies. We are not at that point yet. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Having not to the Media Marxists\u2019 satisfaction<\/a> done enough damage to the wireless Web, in April 2011 the Administration took a second poisonous bite at the apple<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Meanwhile, the Administration has serially, incessantly been an in-depth impediment to the free market business transactions that will dramatically improve and expand the Web.<\/p>\n

This Administration hasn\u2019t been picking Winners and Losers – they\u2019ve been picking Losers at the expense of Winners.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t Crony Capitalism – it\u2019s Crony Socialism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take the Mother-May-I government approval process for mergers and acquisitions – that applies almost exclusively to the Internet-Tech sector.\u00a0 This Administration has abused the living daylights out of it.<\/p>\n

A decision is supposed to be made within 180 days.\u00a0 This Administration has time and again delayed beyond a year some of the mergers and acquisitions languishing before them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cell phone Winner AT&T wanted to buy cell phone Loser T-Mobile.\u00a0 The Administration dragged out the process for more than thirteen months – then denied the purchase.\u00a0 Which cost Winner AT&T somewhere between $3 and $6 billion<\/a> – to be given to Loser T-Mobile.<\/p>\n

When the Administration isn\u2019t outright blocking private sector mergers, they are cramming them full of illegal \u201cconditions.\u201d Laws and regulations to which the parties must agree – else the Administration will deny their request.<\/p>\n

These \u201cconditions\u201d are just more examples of this Administration unilaterally, unlawfully writing law – without benefit of Congress. Comcast was last year forced to swallow<\/a> two dozen Administration-imposed \u201cconditions\u201d so as to finally – more than a year after the deal was first announced – merge with NBC-Universal.<\/p>\n

And just last week the Administration approved Verizon\u2019s wireless spectrum purchase from a cable company consortium – but, again, only with a whole host of illegal attending \u201cconditions.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 That, amongst other things, \u201crestrict…joint marketing agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n

So not only are these \u201cconditions\u201d unlawfully imposed – some of them eviscerate the First Amendment.\u00a0 This Administration is telling these companies what they can and can not say.\u00a0 And these companies will capitulate – else they can not do business.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>All of this Obama Administration hyper-activity has frozen in amber the private sector. This Administration\u2019s myriad of higher taxes and uber-regulatory zeal have cost us growth and job creation – and force us to pay ever higher prices for ever lesser products.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s just the cost we see.\u00a0 The advancement lost to the forced capitulation to Black Hole Government – where money, light and energy go in, and nothing comes out – is unseeable, unknowable – and incalculable.<\/p>\n

Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible.
