Or I should say, Unions to large for economy to grow.

The entire union concept of extortion and protection racket should be illegal.

You have no idea how close you are to the target with that statement. You have the very elected officials who got there by the union support agreeing to the terms for the next contract. Conflic of interest?

On a tangent, what do you really think the finance reform bill in congress is all about? Banks can get shaken down to not oppose the party in power due to heavy penalties decided by those they may choose to oppose. It's really scary stuff.

Interesting that Obama is going after Wall Street, since Wall Street contributed WAY more to Obama than they did to McCain. Maybe it's about perception. Obama has to appear that he, and the Democrats, are "for" the little guy and against those horrible corporate thieves who rob widows and orphans. Meanwhile, he sends them billions in bailout money, they make billions in profit, and he'll settle for a few million in fines, and his sheep will believe that Obama stuck it to the man...

It has to be hard for him to get a good nights rest with his matress stuffed with all that cash made off of his autobiographies of BS. Nah....he invested it, and more, I'am sure.
