New Rules, Enforce the Old Rules, Not One Antitrust Case 8 Years BushCo Pay to Play
Restoring Trust in Antitrust Enforcement
A Progressive Vision for the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department
The results in many markets are not surprising. A lack of merger enforcement has led to oligopolistic market structures, which foster coordination, higher prices, and diminished services. Moreover, the lack of merger enforcement has created many entities that are “too big to fail” and thus, candidates for government bailout. A lack of enforcement among dominant companies has led to less innovation and economic growth. The general lack of enforcement may lead business to believe the cop has left the beat, perhaps leading to greater efforts at coordination and price fixing as well as predatory conduct.

We would not be in this mess if it wasn’t for changing all the rules to fit domination of money and power. Like what the republicans call tax raises its just putting the things back to before the Bush administration of no rules for all whom pay to play.
Not one antitrust case in the 8 years of the Bush administration
