    All the small banks in my area were apparently too small to succeed, there's no more of them.

    Emergency room visit at your local hospital = price of a new car. It's amazing how health care companies can amazingly "negotiate" this cost down to around $2K or less with the hospital.

    To be really serious about antitrust, first you have to President (Clinton) and got to Bill Gates' Office and ask him to empty the MSFT CPAC into the DNC. Gates told him that MSFT didn't have a CPAC. Clinton said, "What? But Apple does."

    Now THAT'S a criminal violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

    The '90's were a fun time in Law School. I actually was taking Evidence class during the OJ Simpson trial.

    Cool story bro. Must have been the only 50 year old in law school.

    Reich makes some good points but as usual, he falls over himself to blame people who aren't politically like him. The Democrats have controlled the White House since Jan of 2009 and controlled the Senate from 2006 to 2014 so how come they didn't break up any of the cartels he mentioned?

    As for Citizen's United, the Justices couldn't permit some speech (via political dollars) but not others. Are Public Sector Unions "people"? How about private sector unions? How about the American Bar Association?

    Ultimately, it's important for the Justices to be as consistent / even-handed as possible and in general, it's better to err on the side of allowing (if you will) more "speech" than less as it can be a slippery slope as to what becomes restricted due to what the trendy political cause of the day is.

    So many things wrong. First.... They are inaugurated into congress on odd years, so.... 2006? Then they did not have control of both houses of congress. You can't do a whole lot with control of the senate without control of the house. When the speaker of the house says it's their goal to make Obama a one term president.
    Semantics is important.

    Everyone here knew he meant they won control in 2006 and assumed it in January 2007. This is how the Mericun world discusses polytics and shit. Changing his statement to "controlled the senate from 2007 to 2015" to be semantically correct does nothing to fundamentally change his poont.

    Killer link though brah.
    It's not semantically correct either. Did you read the link or just the headline? Besides, does the house not have any impact? Or we just saying that the 1/2 of congress has all the power?
    Yes.

    Actually I saw you arguing over the stupidest thing possible and felt compelled to poont it out.

    Stick with your arguments about not controlling the house, that's actually worthwhile. Yelling "they are inaugurated on odd years so it couldn't change hands in 2006!" even though they're elected in even years and that's obviously what he meant is a waste of time and distracts from your worthwhile point.

    Don't be d2d.

    OJ trial was 1995. US involvement in the Vietnam war was 1965 to 1973 or so. Let's say your first tour was in 1970. You were 15. That's right, America drafted 15 year olds, I remember that.

    Did you really "serve your country" by signing up to be part of the quitting team and not protecting your homeland?

    The last MF that called me a soldier to my face, I broke his fucking nose. I was not a fucking soldier. But you Jodie Muther Fuckers don't know who's what because you hid behind Mommy's lesbian black pants.

    BTW, we never lost a fucking battle during Viet Nam. Nixon quit just like your muther fucking president left Iraq.
