Is This Serving the People...Or Serving Themselves?

Never, never, ever miss the opportunity to take advantage of the moment. Spirit Airlines announces a plan to charge for carry-on luggage. Travelers cry "foul." And, it only takes a few days for some Congressional leaders to do their best Mighty Mouse impersonation.

Which is fine, really. They need to do this to appear relevant in order to get re-elected. But, does anybody else find it fascinating that, instead of introducing a bill to ban the practice, six Senators are attempting to tax the carry-on fee?

Like that's gonna stop the airline(s)?

No...it honors them for a really cool money-making scheme. And one that our government wants a piece of.

Noooo! And once again it's the consumer who pays the price.
