This seems awful Carter-ish. Tell me...how did it turn out when Carter tried to regulate?

More importantly, what happened when Reagan deregulated? Deregulation was not the highest priority in his economic program, but he did ease or eliminate price controls on oil and natural gas, cable TV, long-distance telephone service, interstate bus service, and ocean shipping. Banks were allowed to invest in a somewhat broader set of assets, and the scope of the antitrust laws was reduced.

Surprisingly, Carter is the one who deregulated airlines which led to the huge drop in airfares.
