It’s a state-owned entity in a crazy debt regime. Take them all—union pensions, too.

Union boss Richard Trumpka head of the AFL-CIO visits the WH on a regular basis ... sometimes twice a week. Now you know why!
Contrast this with the Kennedy administration who had a full fledged vendetta against Jimmy Hoffa. They were unrelenting in their quest to uncover union corruption. Times have changed greatly in the democ'Rat party.

This is what fascist mobsters do—put the squeeze on you for failing to play their game. How dare you not fall in step with the union black shirts. We’re going to hurt you and hurt you bad. We’ll show you what it’s like to dare to be non-union.

Yep—they really, really love ya, right? Killing these people’s retirements. That’s real love, wouldn’t you agree? They can hardly wait for Dr. Josef Mengele to see you for your next check up. Trust them...they just want to “take care of you”.

And yet these criminals are still tolerated...

I shudder to think what will happen to that guy inside a Federal Prison

We should just get as many of those 20,000 who's pensions got cut to a stadium somewhere, march him in there, lock the gates, and come back in a few hours.

The government force the order of who got paid during the GM bankruptcy. The broke the law and ignored establish procedure. They ended up giving Union Pensions money they were not entitled to by law, while screwing those that were first in line. The courts did not uphold the law either, and agreed with the government. Everything has been turned upside down since O took office.

This is a bit more complex than many here realize.

Delphi was spun off from GM 10 years before GM went bk.
Delphi went bk in 2005.

Basically Delphi salaried folks got about what was prescribed by law per the PBGC rules and the amount of pension funding.

It was the UAW folks at GM who made out like bandits.

My immediate thoughts:

1. Welcome to the Corporate State.

2. Gangster Government.

3. This is worse than Watergate, Bert Lance, Iran Contra, or White Water. It sure as Hell is worse than Valarie Plame.

Let's be honest here folks. This person has the advantage of being half this and half that. If it was pure, no one would have gotten this far with such an agenda. They hand-picked an excellent specimen.

I read this somewhere and thought I would pass it along. Can't remember where. It does bring up some questions.

Nobody in Columbia recalls seeing him in their classes, no ex girlfriends have surfaced, no childhood friends.

Why did he lose his license to practice law in Illinois?

No listing of campaign donors, no record of law practice or clients. No state senate records. No baptism records. No school records. No adoption or medical records.

And there's more.

I wonder if it's all true.

It’s like a Third Way ‘Thug Nation’ Chicago-Style Regime.

The behavior and ‘governance’ offered so far is laughable .. and damnable at the same time... and begging for investigation(s).

Meanwhile, the lamebrain media have their keyboards and mics effectively locked away or on Mute.. and with no series challengers to O in a Dem primary.. It ain’t likely it’s gonna get better anytime soon with Holder at DoJ.
