Actually it has been proven this p[resident already sold the military strategic reserves of gold & silver, but I do question if all our treasury reserves are in place. btw, I agree they should simply give back our gold not sell it, but those in politics will always keep all the money they can.

If these guys stay in power will they allow takeovers to force a price profitable to the producers remaining? Mergers go on trial by Jaret Seiberg and Shanon D. Murray in Washington jseiberg@thedailydeal.com In the closing months of the Clinton administration, Chairman Robert Pitofsky of the Federal Trade Commission is finally getting his wish to take more antitrust cases to trial. Pitofsky has often argued that antitrust law is far stronger when subjected to judicial review, and he's bemoaned the lack of merger-related trials. Now, after a two-year hiatus, the FTC is scheduled to start merger trials in August, September and October. Up on Aug. 30 is the FTC's challenge to H.J. Heinz Co.'s $185 million purchase of Milnot Holding Corp.'s Beech-Nut Nutrition Corp. unit. Then on Sept. 5 the agency asks a judge to block Swedish Match North America Inc.'s $165 million acquisition of National Tobacco Co. LP. Both cases are being tried in Washington. At the end of October the FTC's New York office goes to court to challenge Conso International Corp.'s $22 million purchase of McCall Pattern Co. (cont) thedailydeal.com
