There is a glaring pattern in the Obama Presidency and the Dem. controlled Congress. Unions are growing and will continue to grow under the guise of compassionate legislation.
-The Health Care Bill (I know, what bill?) is nothing more than an SEIU/Government Employee boom! The SEIU stands to gain enormous growth in dues-paying members who will fill the "prescribed" positions defined in the health bill (ex. translators to accompany anyone who feels the need for one when going to the doctor). There is the $10 BILLION "reinsurance" fund that will go directly to unions to pay for the health care of early retirees.
-I don't know what to say about the buyout of Chrysler and GM! The UAW now has a direct stream of taxpayers money to pay for their bloated promises.
-Cap and Trade - again, union jobs take the place of centuries-old, private sector jobs, all in the name of compassion for a dieing planet!
-Government takes over the student loan program. Voila! 35000 private sector jobs disappear and, of course they have to be replaced with public sector, union jobs.
-Every one of the above examples is designed to grow the number of government employees, most of whom belong to the union and most of whom vote Democrat! No one has broached the subject of how much it will cost taxpayers each year to administer a new Health Care agency or Cap and Trade Commission. That cost is not included in the trillion dollar price tag we are being told about! The legacy cost of hiring thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of new gov't workers could triple/quadruple the cost estimates. The bills currently in Congress include hundreds of new "job descriptions" creating jobs that, of course, must be filled by union employees.
Good luck .
