Senator Uses FCC Nomination Process To Question National Wireless Network
K7DAN contributes this excerpt from the intersection of politics, regulation, and high technology: "Sen. Charles Grassley is standing by his threat to place a hold on two nominees to the Federal Communications Commission over concerns about a controversial new wireless network the agency has allowed to move forward. The Iowa Republican this week accused the FCC of refusing to comply with his requests for information on its discussions with Virginia company LightSquared regarding its next-generation national wireless network. Some fear the network would hinder the effectiveness of high-precision GPS systems — used by the military, farmers and others. Grassley also raised questions about the involvement of Harbinger, the hedge fund behind the project and founded by Democratic donor Philip Falcone."
Sounds like commie trickery to me too, senator.
...Without properly function high resolution gps, all of this falls by the wayside and back to fully manual operations they go...
So, what you are saying is that Senator Grassley is against jobs for Americans...?
He meant "fully Manuel operations".

Simple answer to the employment crisis as well as what to do with all those people streaming over the border from Mexico and points south: more hand labor, less mechanized farming.
Get more people out in the fields and we will all be better off. It was good enough 2000 years ago, it should be good enough today.
