At least Europe gets it right.

While our Congress is busy pandering to big business, it seems that the boys and girls who run the European Union are fighting for consumer rights.  Business Insurance reports that the European Union wants to:

• Make it easier for consumers to file antitrust lawsuits.
• Create (not eliminate!) special types of class-action lawsuits.
• Eliminate roadblocks in their justice system.

At least one group of politicians understands the need to keep big business in check.  Too bad they're on the other side of the pond.
