I don't question who did it. While I sound like a liberal most of the
time, I blame the democrats as much as the conservatives most of the
time. Stupid ideas see no political bias.

If you are referring to the deregulation of the airline industry,
the wingnuts who did it were Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Congress.
See the 1978 Airline Deregulation Act.

You obviously don't pay any attention. Flying 20 years ago was as

Very true,except that today we have more information about fares.
You only get less for your $ today.
Today they can abuse their customers with impunity. They can leave
you sitting in a plane with overflowing toilets for 12 hours and
laugh about it. Back when I was a kid I recall calling the NY
office of the CAB several times about abusive airline practices. I
still smile as I recall they guys there with their thick Brooklyn
accents giving me tactical advice and regulations to cite. It was
magical. When I would get to the airline counter and they would try
to screw me once again I would mutter a few rule numbers and "screw
you" became "yes sir, we can book you with another airline and
we'll pay the difference." Those were the days. Then the wingnuts
wrecked the government and now tell us how ineffective it is.
