....the clock's ticking for all you demokrat scumbags....January 2013 will see a new administration and newly elected 'right thinking' people in both congressional houses combine to disassemble the dung-heap that is the sum total of this administration's affect on the amerikan people. Good riddance...they are corrupt, they are not transparent, they are not ethical, they are not even competent. Tar and feathers might be an appropriate 'going away present' for them all....

Well, the waivers were put in place for unions because many unions have better health care plans than the BS health plan Obama passed.

Oh, and federally elected officials are also exempt from Obamacare too. They are guaranteed better benefits than any union I've ever worked with has. Wisconsin legislators also have better benefits than the union employees too. It's a farce.

They get elected, and they are the ones who choose to pay themselves more, and what benefits they get to have. Sure, they have a budget to work with, but neither side seems to care about the cost of their wages/benefits and the impact it has on the taxpayers. Yet, the employees that make things happen, God forbid they impact the budget in any way.

Most unions have been paying more, and getting less, just as the private sector has been for a long time now. It took longer to lessen the benefits in Wisconsin because the wages were traditionally offset to keep the benefits up.

I have a real problem when our lawmakers, who are themselves CITIZENS, exempt themselves from legislation that either regulates or proscribes certain activities, goods or services. They should be horse-whipped....
