but i remember watching an anchor on msnbc, can't remember who... a woman i just can't think of her name right now.... who said... we have so many insurance companies right now... isn't that competition enough. seriously!! there are several gas companies and thousands of gas stations all over the country... i wouldn't equate that with competition.

In their dumbing down of America, the Big Corporations and their bought out Political Party Politicians all rely on the principle that if they say something often enough, while acting like they are all convinced themselves, then we will accept it as being true.

This concept has worked a whole lot of times so far.
"Weapons of Mass Destruction," got the military industrial complex their two nice wars, both of which are still going on and on.
"Too Big To Fail" got Wall Street three to ten trillion bucks.
