I love it, "cracking down" and "bailing out" at the same time.

This quote in particular drips with irony:

Quote:

"Too big to fail [is] a failure of antitrust," Varney said. "The recent developments in the marketplace should make it clear that we can no longer rely upon the marketplace alone to ensure that competition and consumers will be protected."


They're spending trillions of dollars thwarting the market's natural response to stupid, greedy corporations, and then whining that the market doesn't ensure competition. Wow... What I wonder is if he really believes it, or is it just spin? It's kind of hard to fathom that level of delusion. Or deceit for that matter.

Keep the Shiny side up


So will the government have to divest its holdings in GM and Chrysler? Or will one entity controlling 2/3 of the domestic auto manufacturers not be considered monopolistic...if its the government?

Well, if Intel gets tagged with an anti-trust suit in the USA, along with getting nailed in the EU (as is about the happen Wednesday) my stocks will go up!

You know, I could say the same about you, yet I do try to engage you in debate.

Hope your stocks crash, you capitalist whore, you. j/k. In case you don't get subtle, I'm just kidding. Really. Joking is all. Have a nice night. Bye now, my friend.

I was joking too. But Intel is a known monopoly, as is Microsoft, and frankly I'm sick to death of their products. I hope they both crash and burn.
