Politico: ‘Why Congress Can’t Fix Air Travel’
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 04.24.08 | 3:33 PM ET
Interesting examination of why air travel stinks these days and what government’s role should be in fixing it. David Rogers writes in Politico: “[F]rustration levels are such that even libertarian think tanks endorse a greater government role in easing traffic congestion. And air travel taps into a larger political theme in this election, as more Americans feel pushed around by often technical forces out of their control.”

Well, there is a difference between increased oversight and new regulations. I don’t see anyone agreeing to more oversight, and no amount of new regulation is going to help if everyone is focused on how to cut costs.
