I don’t know anything about Glass-Steagall, but I do have to wonder about the mega-companies that keep growing through mergers. Like the AT&T and Time-Warner merger that is going down: these are already huge companies and control significant market share. Maybe it’s time to break up some of these mammoth corporations?

The globalists have ignored anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws for decades. The last time they mattered was during the Reagan administration.

Ya mean like CitiCorp and Travelers Group? Ya see, The repeal of Glass-Steagall was accomplished to legitimize that already illegitimate merger. Slick and Treas. Sec Rudin pushed it through the Republican House in the form of the Gramm(R), Leach(R), Bliley(R) Act. A week after it was passed, Rudin resigned from Treas. and shortly thereafter became head of CitiGroup.

Funny how things work out when yer in government, eh?
