The U.S. Forgot What Antitrust Is For
It&#x27;s not so much that the US forgot what antitrust is for, it&#x27;s that the current powers that be disagree with it, and have a tendency to pervert anything they disagree with, rather than being honest about their opposition to it.<p>Same thing with health care and other measures that are meant to benefit the general public. Opposing things that benefit the general public doesn&#x27;t win them votes, so they need to put a clever spin on their opposition to it. But ultimately, they want things that benefit rich people, particularly party donors.
