Regulation never worked. It promoted inefficiency, and made the economy impotent.

Of course you're going to have failures after deregulation, those failing companies shouldn't have existed in the first place.

I would not want to see rates regulated again. All regulated rates would do is protect the inefficient.

There would need to be a standardized way to change the rates,

Standardized rates = regulated rates. Make up your mind.

I was only explaining the rationale to using the price of fuel for establishing rates. I don't want any government intervention into my business. I seem to do pretty well negotiating rates on my own.

I guess I misunderstood when you said "I would greatly simplify how we set rates. This would work just fine if everyone used the same formula." and realize now that it was simply a typo.

The good money manager will always come out on top.



This is the point.. just 2 days ago while talking to my eldest daughter 19. she asked how I accomplished all that I have so far. I brought down some old files from the attic. pay stubs from when I made $85.00 for a 60 hour work week. where I worked 2 full time job's, where I made $5.25 an hour. I tell her thats where & when it all started. It DID NOT start in the last year, so dont look at all I have now & think WOW! look at what I had to do to get where I am at. the good thing is my daughter remembers our lifestyle back when she was little. we did not have champagne taste on A Beer budget. we just had a beer budget. It WAS the managing of our resources that got me where I am today.
