There is a bill worming its way through Congress right now that will "bail out" the big unions floundering gold plated retirements. According to an article by Investors Business Daily it calls for $165 billion to make sure these very well paid retirees will continue to live a life of luxury on the regular workers hard earned tax dollars. It is no surprise what so ever that a Democrat has authored the bill. This is a big taxpayer funded pay off for the Democrats hoping to buy more votes for November. How pathetic. It is already estimated that as much as half of the $862 billion stimulus will be either directly or indirectly funneled to the unions as it is. Also there is a move to give education a $23 billion dollar shot in the arm. Oh well this as if giving money to the big union education system has ever increased test scores. It is apparent that this is also another union bailout as there have been moves to reduce teachers pay and benefits. When will the payoffs end? Hopefully in 2012 if America has not been run into the ground by then.
