The PM of Japan resigned because he couldn't keep a promise to close a US military base on Okinawa.

I think we all know politicians, especially in the U.S. are not known to tell the whole truth. So for this group of non-truthtellers to regulate another group of liars is ludicrous. While I'm not opposed to regulation of some sort, I don't think the government should be doing it. I don't have a good answer of who should do it but I think the law-makers should not. With the airlines 'donating' money to their campaigns, wouldn't it almost then be like a self-regulating body?? Wouldn't fix the problems that exist.

I did see yesterday the DOT is imposing some new superficial rules on the airlines. Increasing the involuntray denied boarding compensation for one. There are others but I don't feel like looking and linking so you'll have to search yourself.
