You’re missing the point, though.

The reason an administration would be negotiating is because they are trying to get two or more groups to agree. In this case, if President Obama is to succeed in his goal of having reformed health care, he realizes that he has to get groups within his own party to agree. It is those Congressmen for whom union votes are key that this arrangement would be made.

Well in my opinion YOU are missing the point. The unions supported Obama. They gave big money, and got back even bigger money.

You said that I blew it when I called this corruption in the Obama Administration. As if there might be away that this is corrupt Senate, or corrupt Congress. This was done by the Whitehouse.. The Unions don’t have to play the hide the leader game. They get to speak to the decision maker. Obama cannot pretend this isn’t on him. He was bought and paid for. Proof is right in front of you.

They did add a bunch of stuff that can make it seem like NOT just unions will benefit from the talks. HOWEVER, only the Unions got this 8 year exemption. A lot of other people took a better benefit package in order to balance lower wages. I guess the union member has better representation in Washington. In 2012 it might be a chance to fix that.

Secondly, doesn’t anyone question why it was so easy to drop $60 billion in TAX income. They would like you to think that even with that $60 billion tax break for their friends, the CBO will rate this deficit neutral.

No way… there is a $60 billion hole that needs to be filled if this is NOT going to add even one thin dime to the deficit.
