Government-Mandated Monopoly Hurts Consumers

Note the slant of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch headline: "Lifting of limits in Dallas could cost AA"':
    A push by Southwest Airlines to lift restrictions on its flights from Love Field in Dallas could cost American Airlines at least $250 million a year in revenue, including a 39 percent revenue drop on flights between Dallas/Fort Worth and St. Louis, according to an industry report.
You know, I think this increased competition would be good for consumers, you know, the little guy. But the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is not his champion; it's the fierce cheerleader of government meddling in markets to benefit one company over another or over the citizen.
