AnotherVoice

Waxahachie, Texas, March 29, 2005 -- Believing what I was raised to hold sacred, that every voice counts, I've bombarded my local paper for years with letters and op-eds (and been active in politics). Yet here in the heart of everyone's favorite "red state," where it's especially important that another voice be heard, no one seemed to be listening. This is my megaphone.

Wishful thinking dept.

If ever there were a perfect situation for disapproval by the feds of a merger, the obscene proposed sale of MBNA Corporation to Bank of America for $35 billion is it: Forget for a moment the implication of eliminating competition, the plan is to eliminate 6,000 jobs in the process!

It would be a small but worthy starting point for returning our economy to the interests of the people rather than the powerful. Link

Is such a deal truly in the interests of the consumer? Will it cause credit card interest rates to plunge? Is MBNA going to go under if it's not rescued by a bigger bank (which will then be humungous, of course)?

It couldn't be just greed, could it? Could it?

Take a look:
