More back room deals

Wow...it is lovely to read today that the administration has now made yet another back room deal in order to push the "health care reform" down our throats. The latest in a long list of deals goes to the unions. Surprise, surprise, unions have long been on the bandwagon of entitlement mentality so it fits right into the socialist agenda of this administration. This administration has shown that the special interests groups have a huge hold on Washington. Those in power right now are willing to sell their souls to get this bill passed.

The unions have managed to destroy the manufacturing industries in this country by excessively burdening the very businesses that provide employment to their members. The residual effects of this are impacting the auto industry due to the lifetime entitlements that the unions forced out of the companies under the threat to strike. When over $2,000 of the cost of a new car goes to pay for benefits to FORMER employees, there is something wrong with this system.

People, businesses are in business for one reason and one reason only, to make money for the stakeholders of that company. I know of not one single person who has founded a company with the goal of providing a lifetime of benefits for their employees. Employees are a commodity that are necessary to produce the goods and services. When the time comes that the commodity is no longer needed or becomes too expensive, then the business must raise their prices or reduce their costs, plain and simple.

Anyone who has taken a basic business management class understands that the quickest way to push cash to the bottom line is to cut labor costs. When limited by the legal extortion of a collective bargaining agreement, most compaies will choose to look offshore for cheaper labor, something that is not all that difficult to find. Once those jobs leave the U.S., they are gone for good. As the availability of the jobs in this country decreases, then unemployment increases further burdening the social programs. Those unable to find work are no longer contributing to the tax base that helps to pay for those services.

When are the union workers going to realize that the unions ARE big business. They are not there for the workers, they operate solely to continue to line the pockets of those that run the unions. Why do you think that the unions were(are) so popular with organized crime? It is a huge cash cow with a huge number of drones that are unable or unwilling to take care of themselves. By using extortion, they shut companies down in order to exact the pound of flesh they so desire.

The SEIU, one of the largest unions that has BHO in their back pocket, admits to representing ILLEGAL workers as well as some that are working legally here. Their catch phrase is that the workers of world need to unite as they try to spread the tentacles of the union overseas. Union workers, is this a group that actually has YOUR best interest at heart? Are they saving "American Jobs" for Americans or are they merely paying lip service to that philosophy while selling you out?

ILLEGAL workers can be forced to work for less than someone who is here legally under the threat of deportation. By representing the ILLEGALS, the SEIU ensures that they have yet another pool of drones to exploit. This time at the expense of those in the country legally. Now this administration is selling out the American people to that very union.

Come on with the midterm elections!!!
