Quote For The Day

"The financial meltdown has given the federal government greater sway over individual companies than at any time since the Depression — and this kind of economic clout is likely to continue if the Republicans regain power … The Supreme Court has raised the potential of the ultimate wink-and-nod political quid pro quo — federal economic assistance in exchange for overt corporate political support. This is a new quasi-legal temptation awaiting any president of either party running for re-election," – Walter Shapiro.
