I have to agree with the decision in the House today to proceed with the digital TV switch. As screwed up as the process has been, and as predictable as the running out of money for converter box coupons was, it makes no sense to go back and stop it now.
If they'd contemplated moving the deadline two years ago, that would be fine. They in fact did move it a couple times. But with less than a month to go before all analog TVs switch off, they should just bite the bullet. If Congress gets backlash from millions of seniors who can't watch TV anymore, that's their own fault for making the choice in the first place. Shouldn't have listened to the cell phone lobbyists who were hungry for the bandwidth. Don't blame anyone else when you lose your reelection campaign.
