Jim DeMint: “It's really the centrally planned and managed economy that Dr. Meyer is talking about, or do we have a free market…”

So they'll have to bill that cost into the cost of their product.

We are particularly appreciative of Senator DeMint's efforts to begin the dialogue on the role that government should play in the television marketplace.

His proposal was so outlandish, I don't think we should go back to the table until he puts something there that we can work with.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important hearing and for your continued interest in the video market.
