President Obama has upset the entire air traffic control system with his furloughing of air traffic controllers, shutting towers down, and generally inconveniencing every airline passenger quite despite his so-called “airline passenger bill of rights.” Obama claims the evil Republicans are at fault for slashing the FAA’s budget. But did they? A review of the real budgets/i> show that the FAA’s budget actually increased. It wasn’t slashed at all.
Obama’s FAA budget went up by millions of dollars. So, tell us again, why are we suffering a damaged airline industry?
