    I feel like conversatives just learn first principals and stop there. It’s kinda sad. The FCC, FTC, etc exist in order to keep our markets fair and consumer friendly.

    This weird, free-trade utopia that they dream about does not exist, has never existed, and cannot exist. Instead when you remove all the regulation, you get anarchy like we see today in many 3rd world countries.

    I would love to see our government get more efficient and targetted with its regulation, but to simply argue against it is extremely naive.

      Correct, assuming some fairly specific definitions of “conservatives” and “anarchy”.
