Not Reasonable

So, we have been looking to save some money on our monthly TV bill, but they really don't make it easy. Of course, they don't mean to. In order to lower our package and save money, we have to get rid of channels that we actually watch, while keeping tons of channels that we never watch at all. With the government running around sticking it's nose in where it doesn't belong, why don't they do something about this? I'm sure they will say that they can't do anything because there is no monopoly, but when there is also no real competition, there might as well be. All we need is for cable and satellite providers to be reasonable, all they need to do is sell packages that say, for this amount of money you get this number of channels, and then let us pick which ones we want. That way everyone gets the channels that they want, that they will actually watch, and not all the stuff that they don't care about. Take us for example, if we go below the 200 channel package we have to give up stuff we really don't want to give up, but if we could pick and choose our own, we could probably get by quite nicely on 50 or so. If someone wants to help the American people, how about they get into this one.
