Our Government

It's amazing that mergers between billion dollar banks and oil companies are approved and completed within a few weeks of filing, and these two struggling companies can't be approved after 11 months.

The way our government is manipulated by funding from large companies and groups like Clear Channel is scary. I wish someone would research the parties who have delayed this merger and compare their campaign contributions. How did we allow our government to get so dirty?
