I was watching C-SPAN this morning (yeah yeah, I was REALLY bored!) and Michael Levine was testifying before the Transportation Committee about hub pricing structures. He tried to justify why hubs need to keep a high price to subsidise the other operations, but Sen.McCain wasn't buying it!

I think this type of effort is ludicrous. Price controls and government can't dictate pricing, let the free market reign!

Hmmm, but don't we want to protect some businesses from unfair practices from the competition?
