The government doesn't do anything other than the postal system in competition with the private sector. I'm saying they need to start doing a whole lot more. The private industries are in cahoots with each other along with the government, raping the consumers. If one company controls a whole industry, it's monopolization, and is regulated. If you have 3 companies that make up the industry working together in common interests, then you have a pseudo monopoly that fall outside the bounds of regulations.
The government need to do either of two things. Either compete against the private sector, or get out of bed with corporate America and close the loopholes they use to skirt around regulations..
