Does Hillary Clinton Want to Limit Mergers?

The New York Sun reports:


Senator Clinton has been flying around the nation on chartered campaign planes and private jets so consistently that she's lost touch with commercial aviation. How else to explain the statement issued yesterday by her campaign in respect of reports of possible mergers between Delta and Northwest airlines and between Continental and United airlines? "If carriers decide to combine in order to cut costs and increase their market clout, we will have to take a hard look at the potential effects on workers," Mrs. Clinton said, calling it "vitally important that any proposed merger preserve the jobs and worker protections on which thousands of families rely."
Clinton,the economic planner.Some politicians don't understand economics too well,or they are in the pocket of special interests.Sounds like Hillary Clinton isn't for lower consumer prices.
