Yesterday I watched a vid that showed the computer on a Camry could not detect a short in the fuel or throttle assembly. That was pretty scary. No faults recorded...at all. Yet the car accelerated rapidly. He didn’t even have his foot on the pedal. Brrr.
As far as anti trust, I think this passage, the last line especially, from a Supreme Court decision involving the Sherman Act gives us a hint of where 0bama is going with this...
“The purpose of the Sherman Act is not just to protect businesses from the working of the market; it is also to protect the public from the failure of the market. The law directs itself not against conduct which is competitive, even severely so, but against conduct which unfairly tends to destroy competition itself.”
The only one trying to destroy competition around here is Bambi himself.
Toyota buys its parts from companies that make them expressly for it (and in fact, one of its problems lately may have been that a few years ago it started to outsource them to other companies). This might be considered a vertical monopoly, although it has no effect on the competitors of the company itself.
The purpose of Obama is to destroy business and make sure the government is the only monopoly in town.
