The issue here is TARP and limits on the size of mega corporations, not health care, climate gate, Afghanistan or multiple other pet peeves each of us may have with the current administration.

We have fairly good anti-monopoly laws, so that the mega corps can "fairly" compete against each other. But that doesn't necessarily limit their individual size. Their global reach also allows them to escape mega taxes with holdings and branches in foreign countries. They are essentially a foreign power with great impact on our National economy should they fail.

If we don't take positive action to limit this mega corp power they WILL have to be bailed out again, by the USA. I think the Administration should move on this while they still have some momentum to get it done. Americans have very short memories...
