FTC to Regulate the Internet ... Why?

So the Democrats can create a more powerful government.

From Hot Air :

".... Neither the FTC nor the Internet had anything to do with the Wall Street meltdown in 2008. If this financial-regulation bill is so desperately needed, why did House Democrats lard it up with this power grab at the FTC? Why does the FTC need any further authority over the Internet, where fraud and abuse regulations apply already? The Internet economy has been one of the bright spots throughout a dismal period of recent history. Do we need to attack the one area that shows growth and promise?"

There is a pattern in the Democrat government from the Congress to the Senate and the Whitehouse.

The pattern is to make a lot of noise about fixing some great problem in a hurry and then passing regulations that do NOTHING to address the issue at hand. Rather the purported urgency of the crisis is used as a smokescreen to cover the institution of a another attack on the free market or the freedom of the individual.

America is being attacked on a daily basis ... from within.
