You have hit the nail on it's proverbial head again Michelle, Andy Stern doesn't have to make regular visits to the Whitehouse anymore his Union Lobbying days are over he'll live high, very high on the proverbial hog, just like the CEO's of the Corporations they continue to shakedown unabated. The fact that there is massive corruption in the Union leadership is seen as normalcy, and the icing on the cake-Unionising all Indian Casinos. By 2012 the Forbes richest list will have it's first Union Leader.

President Obama calls his latest attempt to revive the economy a "Plan to Renew and Expand America's Roads, Railways and Runways." I'm calling it "The Mother of all Big Dig Boondoggles." Like the infamous "Big Dig" highway spending project in Boston, this latest White House infrastructure spending binge guarantees only two results: Taxpayers lose; unions win.

The plan would add at least $50 billion more to the nearly $230 billion already allocated in the original trillion-dollar stimulus law for infrastructure. Less than one-third of that infrastructure stimulus money has been spent, but the urgency to pile on has increased exponentially...
