Czuch: Back in 85 I lost my job due to the government's intrusion into AT&T's business. They split up the phone company and I lost my job along with 24,000 other workers. No one bailed me out. Thousands more lost their jobs after the breakup. I was 34 and had two children. Along with my wife's help, I put myself through college, landed a teaching job, and started a new career. I went on to get my master's degree and that put me way up on the pay scale. No government help. No bailouts.
And what of all those workers who also lost their jobs? If they looked, they found new work. As a result of the breakup of the phone company, many more businesses were formed. Some grew at fantastic rates!
So here's the government breaking up a "BIG" company on the one hand, and then helping a "BIG" company on the other.
Let the market take care of it. After the phone company breakup, new business started. More jobs were created than were lost. I don't recommend it because it was government intrusion that caused the problem (and I could have my stats wrong). Either way, the government should do it's job and ONLY its job. Follow the mandates of the Constitution and stay out of our lives. They try to RUN everything but they RUIN it instead.
Big government = less freedom = less quality of life = less potential = weakness.
