November 30th, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could potentially engage in one of the largest federal power grabs we have ever seen.After two years of this Presidential Administration and this Congress, that is saying an awful lot about an awful lot.
And what’s worse, the FCC would be doing it without Congress weighing in. At the FCC’s November meeting -- note the coincidental date of choice, AFTER the impending election -- three unelected bureaucrats (of five) could simply vote themselves rulers of 1/6th of our entire economy - the information and technology sector.
Meaning the Internet that you currently enjoy -- that has been a marvel of economic and information innovation and success -- will be subject to vast new governmental regulations. You didn’t elect these people -- but they are on the verge of electing themselves Internet overlords.
I have a feeling that they're going to go for it. The Obamabots are going to be staring at political oblivion, and calculating that this is one of their last chances at tilting the field to their advantage.
