Bipartisan Senate Effort Saves Biden Airline Ripoff Rule

A remarkable political development:

1) Biden introduces new rule that airlines have to compensate you when they cancel your flight

2) Airlines and allies in Congress push back

3) Josh Hawley and Elizabeth Warren -- staunch conservative, staunch liberal -- save the Biden rule.

Hawley is no conservative. Just a big government in conservative clothing.

Well, presidents and self-described conservatives Reagan, W. Bush, and Trump all massively increased government deficits, Hawley just thinks some of that increase should maybe help workers and families occasionally.

Airfare has been historically dropping thanks to market competition. No need for government intervention to save us from evil corporations that are already working for the welfare of consumers

So when your flight is cancelled or delayed and your welfare is harmed and the company just shrugs...that is helping you? America's got to be the only country where large numbers of people cheer for the boot on their face.

How does the collaboration between politicians from drastically different ideological spectrums to save a consumer protection rule challenge your views on political partisanship?

If a policy directly benefiting consumers faced opposition, what factors do you believe should determine its survival?

Do you think government intervention in airline policies is beneficial or intrusive for passengers?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

Imagine if a rule meant to protect airline passengers was at risk; would it matter to you which political parties defended it?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

How would you feel about flying if airlines had to compensate you for canceled flights?
