1. Reagan brought the modern era into being by suspending enforcement of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act
Edited on Wed Mar-31-10 01:12 PM by midnight
Reagan brought the modern era into being by suspending enforcement of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and Clinton and both Bush presidents refused to go back to enforcing the Sherman Act and other similar laws, both leaving in place and advancing the agenda of the Reagan Revolution corporatists. Obama has made tentative noises about enforcing the Sherman Act, but taken no serious action.http://www.buzzflash.com/store/reviews/2136

Edit to add link to info. from book Cornered.

5. Jimmy Carter's was the last administration of either party to enforce
the Sherman Act. There were a few noises from the Clinton administration regarding M$, but as we saw the prosecution was halted after $$ started to flow (Gates made a big mistake when he neglected to start buying politicians as M$ grew).

They will not stop. Their useful idiots will be some sad little boys and girls when they find themselves headed over the same cliff. Then they'll think: "I wonder if I surmised . . . poorly?"
