RE THIS IS CALLED SMALL GOVERNMENT NYT TODAY F.A.A. YOUR STATE

Not that I am not in favor of drastic reforms of the whole system, 


but this demonstrates the very longstanding poverty of political insight here, and the dead end of the existing party game.


Most Americans don't really fathom what such a fiscal situation can mean, apart from inconvenience. Having once represented an airport operationally controlled by the F.A.A., I at least have a clue.


Operationally, I guess it may mean different things, in places where the FAA has run airport flight operations.


Perhaps states, or even local communities need to take back airport operations from the FAA. Big wasteful bureaucracy.


Why not move air traffic control operations to, say, China, similarly to GE's recent decision to move its X ray unit there (not India)? Set up call centers there to direct air traffic around our cities? Use, eg Google Earth, (also say Gaggle Earth, Gobble Earth), as the source of flight data?  


Makes a lot of good entrepreneurial maverick mutton busting sense to me. 


Terms search: your state; why Iowa, Minnesota, city, county.
