MERGERS Often LOWER, Rather Than RAISE, Prices There's nearly unanimous agreement that when #Biden and [his] regulators BLOCKED the #JetBlue and #Spirit airlines merger, it may have been **the dumbest antitrust case in American history** Spirit went BANKRUPT, and #airline COMPETITION was REDUCED. Now a new study by the nonpartisan GAO - the federal government's auditor - has found that **airline mergers have NOT reduced competition and raised fares** - **but just the OPPOSITE** The bottom line: #airfares, after adjusting for inflation, are about **15 to 20% LOWER than they were 12 years ago**, and **LOWER than at any time in at least the last 16 years** We hope that every state Attorney General, and every lawyer at the #FTC & #JusticeDepartment, reads this story and STOPS BLOCKING MERGERS. https://committeetounleashprosperity.com/hotlines/mergers-often-lower-rather-than-raise-prices/
