Democrats moving to bail out labor unions

[MG1968]

Does their fiscal malfeasance know no bounds?

FOXBusiness.com - The Next Bailout: $165B for Unions

Although right now taxpayers could possibly be on the hook for $165 billion, the liability could essentially be unlimited because these pensions have to be paid out until the workers die.

maybe if the unions didn't waste so much money on political activism...

 

[droski]

they already bailed them out for many tens of billions for gm and chrysler.

How far do you think the American people will let him take these hand outs to special interest?

 

[droski]

i bet you anything if they did a poll that at least 70% of americans would have no idea that obama violated 100 years of us bankruptcy law by bypassing the bondholders and giving their interest to the unions to make their pensions whole. it got virtually no media coverage. in america's mind this was just another bailout just like the banks.

he will get away with it until their free money dries up. He wouldn't have the same support if 100% of Americans were paying taxes

One of the funniest things I've read in a while.

Just last week President Obama said there would be no more bailouts

Wonder what word he will use instead of "bailout"?

Uh, why (per Google News) is FoxNews the only site with that story?

It didn't even spell, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation correctly, by the way.

Interesting question.

Assuming the bill is real, why wouldn't this be a reportable story; particularly with the current mood of the country RE: govt. spending.

The bill was just introduced today.

Any fair-minded individual, regardless of political pursuasion, should be able to see the stupidity of this union pandering.

Labor unions take a great part in destroying the American auto industry, and they get bailed out by our tax dollars. Not to mention this administration is trying to shove unions down our throats in the construction industry. If you are involved in construction at a major level, you might know what I am talking about.

 

[TruthIsOutThere]

No way this even garners Democratic support... There are thousands of stupid bills introduced every year and this is just another.

Andy Stern and the rest of the union thugs own Barry.

meanwhile, Obama bites the hand that feeds him...

RealClearPolitics - Video - Solar Plant Workers Told To Stay Home Without Pay Due To Obama Visit

Union workers have been told not to come back until Thursday because of security concerns associated with the President's visit. Workers tell KRON 4's Kate Thompson this day off means they won't get paid

 

[droski]

the funny part is he's only visiting this plant so that the taxpayer will pay part of his trip to come out and raise money for boxer.
