Jeb Bush: Net Neutrality decision is "crazy"

[hopper]

I don't think Net Neutrality was on peoples minds as a priority for Congress to do for the internet. When I think about what Congress should be doing they should be doing tax reform(both corporate and individual), immigration reform, and entitlement reform.

From my understanding Obama lobbied the FCC to do Net Neutrality  for the Internet and the FCC passed the new Net Neutrality Rules on party lines on a 3-2 vote. First off Obama isn't supposed to lobby the FCC(from what I hear) and the FCC is supposed to put up new rulings for public opinion for a certain amount of time(not sure what amount of time that is) and not rush a vote like they did. I could be cynical but its "ObamaCare" for the internet I think.

The Internet was originally a federal project -- to supply communications for the military. It proved so desirable to others that it had to expand.

Educational use is essential, and it is more important that people be able to do research  than that some people who pay more get to reshape the Internet to their purposes. 

You bring up a very good point - it was once a federal project.  We cannot let a Republican win in 2016 - any chances of net neutrality potentially staying around will likely go up in flames.  I have the fortune to have the WSJ delivered to home, and I see editorials about the so-called 'Obamanet', partisan baloney, from the same people who called Obamacare a failure.  Jeb and other viable Republican presidential hopefuls and the WSJ editorial writers are of one mind on net neutrality - and they simply don't deserve to win.  Jeb's position on this is yet another reason I would never, never, ever vote him for President of the United States.

I never saw anybody make a proposition about net neutrality until the FCC passed this resolution.  I think to leftists in the Dem Party net neutrality is a big deal because of all the phone calls that Washington DC was getting about it and from groups like the ACLU.

All ObamaCare did was expand Medicaid and give subsidies for to people in order to get healthcare. We really needed 1,200 pages of ObamaCare in order to do that(I am being sarcastic but serious at the same time writing this sentence.)
