Because NO ONE feels this bill is a significant positive step.

But so much more so because after such arduous work, Congress will adjourn for five weeks before approving the funding of the FAA budget.

So until they feel like convening again, those self-centered idiots have laid off 70,000 construction workers, stopped 214 approved and ongoing airport renovation projects which were all previously approved and ongoing. And until the budget is approved, the government cannot legally collect hundreds of millions of dollars in airline taxes. All this tax money has been scooped up immediately and pocketed by the airlines. The airlines response to hiking prices by the amount of the uncollected taxes is that they have nothing to do with it. "Consumers and market competition set ticket prices". Another wonderful example of unregulated free enterprise bringing out the very best in our large corporations.

In my mind, there is no better definition of 'obscenity'.
