Obama's Union Boss Hogs

UPDATE: The Obsolete NY Model. Where a tax-eating majority votes itself a permanent income.***Flexing their muscles, Big Labor lords destroy Illinois, California, now the country. George Will:

How does the Obama administration love organized labor? Let us count the ways it uses power to repay unions for helping to put it in power.

It has given the United Auto Workers majority ownership of Chrysler. It has sent $135 billion of supposed stimulus money to state governments to protect unionized public-sector employees from layoffs and other sacrifices that private-sector workers are making. It has sedated the Labor Department's Office of Labor-Management Standards, which protects workers against misbehavior by union leaders. Cap-and-trade legislation might please unions -- tariffs on imports from countries not foolish enough to similarly burden their manufacturers. If Congress, seeking money for more socialized medicine, decides that some employer-paid health insurance should be taxed as employees' compensation -- which it obviously is -- generous union-negotiated benefits might be exempted.

And that's just for starters. Obama is putting FedEx over a barrel for the benefit of UPS and the Teamsters. Not content with bankrupting the auto industry, unions are bankrupting states--and America's next.

P.S. More earlier from the Washington Times:

Senators are considering a bill to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration that could foul up overnight delivery for medical patients, the military and every mom-and-pop business in the country. If the bill passes, needed packages absolutely, positively will not be there overnight.
