More Money From Your Pocket

This ties in with the People Poll:

AFL-CIO's Richard Trumka, says we need to raise taxes to benefit union members and we need another giant stimulus package to make jobs.  Because the last stimulate-me-Elmo jerk off and the one before all worked so well.  Real Unemployment hovering around 16%?   Hey Trumka!  When in Hole, STOP DIGGING. 
 Trumka told Tech Ticker that we need a higher gas tax to put Americans to work and build infrastructure.  CAN YOU AFFORD MORE AT THE PUMP - TO FEED SOMEBODY ELSE'S PENSION?  Trumka is pals with Obama and has reportedly made this an ongoing argument with the cleric in the White House.  Trumka has made himself a further object of derision by proposing to Obama in his  apparent daily discussion with the White House that the president perpetrate another giant stimulus plan, this one to the tune of $256 billion.

Forget that the last several multi-billion dollar stimulus plans did not stimulate the economy in any way at all. As Bruce McQuain notes, the last $800 billion stimulus did not help the rising unemployment rates at all. In fact, unemployment has gotten worse since the several stimulus packages have been approved.
Word is union dues pay Richard Trumka nearly $300,000 per year!  Blog  away ...
