Traditionally antitrust law was used to prevent companies from buying out their competitors, now it will be used to come down on companies that are too successful and achieve "market dominance".

What about government monopoly schools, or union monopolies in workplaces not in right-to-work states?

Administration Plans to Strengthen Antitrust Rules

Wow whatta surprise???

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Of course Obammie’s Commies will strengthen the anti-trust laws.

They don't like the competition to the monopolies they are creating with bailouts, takeovers, unionism and regulation.

..shuuush don't mention the obvious, it's like saying the government is the ONLY organization that achieves enormous windfall profits

We live in a world in which the major players in our basic industries are in trouble. AIG, Goldman Sachs, General Motors, Chrysler. The big companies are going down!

But the Obama administration has identified a few big companies that are not YET on the verge of bankruptcy. But don't worry -- he's got a plan to deal with them.

The federal government is the most malignant monopoly there is.

Outside of government, including favored regulation, can you name a single company that has a sustained market dominance over time that hurt the public?

[elpadre]

if there was a problem and valid suits were being dismissed out of hand, I could understand and favor. However, I don't believe that is the case. This more part of Obama’s attack on capitalist America.

The administration is hoping to encourage smaller companies in an array of industries to bring their complaints to the Justice Department about potentially improper business practices by their larger rivals.

The government doesn't have to worry about us small businesses being put out of business by our larger competitors. Government is doing its best to destroy us all by itself.

This is about minorty ownership percentage. They want more pie.

Something tells me the law won’t apply to Big Brother or democrat party donors.
