Tar + Feathers + Senator. Light assembly required.
A Democratic senator is introducing legislation for a bailout of troubled union pension funds. If passed, the bill could put another $165 billion in liabilities on the shoulders of American taxpayers.
The bill, which would put the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation behind struggling pensions for union workers, is being introduced by Senator Bob Casey, (D-Pa.), who says it will save jobs and help people.
As FOX Business Network’s Gerri Willis reported Monday, these pensions are in bad shape; as of 2006, well before the market dropped and recession began, only 6% of these funds were doing well.
They should quit renting buses and having logo shirts made up for their harassment parties. That would save them a small fortune right there. Then maybe the unions and their members could learn to live within their means and not depend on others for their sustinence.
Yeah, I know. It’ll never happen. But this bill passing will get me voting from the rooftops.
