"Unable to maintain their government-granted monopoly, the powerful railroad interests turned to government to do the regulating and price-fixing which they were unable to do themselves.

- President Obama has killed at least 19,000 jobs worth $1.1 billion in lost wages with his Gulf oil drilling moratorium.
- Detroit’s population plunged 25 percent in the past decade to 713,777, the lowest count since 1910.
