One thing you can say about Chicago's most successful hack politiican, Barack Obama, is that he pays his debts.
"The congressional letter was spurred by Examiner columnist Mark Hemingway's report that the GSA had awarded a $52 million stimulus contract to renovate a Department of Veterans Affairs building, only to turn around and require the winning contractor to sign a PLA that adds at least $3.3 million to the project's cost. The agency, which received $6.6 billion in stimulus funds for construction projects, imposed the stipulation on the contractor after changing its policy from favoring low bidders to preferring contractors who agree to sign PLAs. This is a sop for a favored Obama constituency because only 14 percent of all construction workers are unionized. The unionized 14 percent now have what is probably an unconstitutional leg up on the nonunion 86 percent."
Now the union has more bribes from workers to make sure that can max out their support of BO in the 2012 presidential race.
Corruption comes in all forms. Government demands workers pay bribes to unions. Unions then give money to politicians, who then force workers to pay bribes. . A circle of corruption.
Who says that government is honest? Just ask any union leader how honest politicians are! End the corruption and you are on the road to end the deficit spending. Your choice--unions or honest government, you can not have both.
