And they have never been between ISPs and the backbone providors. Verizon is trying to act like something it is not. It is an ISP, by definition it will always have a imbalance of traffic, that is its business.
I am not just talking about the commerce clause... A state cannot just build a nuclear reactor, even if they are not going to sell the electricity across state lines, without NRC approval. The EPA can have a say in spills inside a state...
The problem is that, at least in NC, the hypocrisy of the states rights group is large and thick. They dont want federal involvement in state affairs, but the state has no problem taking rights away from the cities, counties and other municipalities, same as they account the federal government. This is a local city trying to get the feds to stop the state governments abuse of power.
Can you point to a single multiple broadband setup that uses that model? The 2 in question support themselves from the services, not through taxes. Using hyperbole, or just in general made up scenarios, does not help your cause.
This is a repeat of 2k9. They laid us off scheduled the 4th of July, but we were removed from our posts on 4th of May, and our access revoked. And while they hired the same number of people immediately the people who were laid off could not apply for 5 months.
So instead of paying taxes to a government that can use volume to make management cheaper, and use the funds for other public goods you pay it to an insurance company, unless you really though insurance costs would not skyrocket for the new services they provide, and in the end you get less value, but the insurance company makes more money.
I am stupid because I dont believe that the employer paid for my medicare when it came directly out of my paycheck? Even if he wants to lay that claim, the same logic would dictate it was not the employer who paid for it but the customer of the business.
And do you enjoy living off a max of something like 30% of your income from when you are employed in some states? UI, which is an insurance program has a limited time length. The way you can extend it is in a time of high unemployment or by going to school.
The parts trying to fix the problem are those adding regulations to ensure they dont happen, the ones trying to prevent it are the ones trying to remove regulations so it can happen again. Which do you think is big government and which do you think is small government?
I stooped as soon as that site claimed that the taxes I paid are not coming from me, but from the business owner. As in medicare that is taken directly from my pay.
Most of what you lay claim on being bad big government is actually bad small government.. Why do we have the worst broadband penetration, because the government is not making the companies do anything, any thing at all, not even compete. As for everything else that is state level issues, which we paid for with federal monies. they way to fix them is not with less regulation, as the lack of regulation is what allowed them to happen in the first place.
because they would still want what they still want. They would replace the losses in social services with more military, because no one wants to be seen as anti military.. Playing politics with a government shut down is not the same as actually wanting to have real reductions in government.
You and I have fairly different ideas of sane. Supporting people who think rape is OK, as God intended it is not sane in social issues, at least in my opinion.
Also % compared to GDP is a relativly useless stat because we give away a lot of the things we produce for free, without counting them as part of the GDP, artificially raising the percentage. If we were to take into account all the food and other items we give away free the GDP would be much higher and the percentage therefore much lower.

I cant, my state says I must believe in the Lord to hold public office...
Obviously it did to me, but sadly there are lots of people who it would not.
Then dont use the municipal broadband, use comcast....This is not giving the cities a monopoly...
There are lots of things that happen within state lines that fall subject to federal regulations...
you forgot "Oh, you want a free market in sales (such as car)? Can't allow that."

Taxation is not theft, you allow it to happen. You have options to avoid it.
too late.
So instead of paying taxes to a government that can use volume to make management cheaper, and use the funds for other public goods you pay it to an insurance company, unless you really though insurance costs would not skyrocket for the new services they provide, and in the end you get less value, but the insurance company makes more money.
That is funny, as it was mostly my republican friends that were upset about the shutdown as services they wanted to use were offline.

If your theory was correct wouldnt Mass be experiencing a mass exodus of bushiness, and not the growth of GDP it is seeing??
You and I have fairly different ideas of sane. Supporting people who think rape is OK, as God intended it is not sane in social issues, at least in my opinion.
Do you really think any of the sides actually want that? Even the small government party does not mind intruding if it fits their beliefs.
Actually it peaked in the 40s, direct rate, not % of GDP:
