OTOH: My opinion of Congress is a hell of a lot higher than my opinion of the AFL-CIO.

Congress’ motto should be ‘Do no harm’

The unions got a lot of stuff from Baraq, but the regime got too busy with Obamacare and didn’t pass card check before the Republicans retook the House.

Without that, private sector union membership continues to fade away.

Don’t be fooled.

Americans do not hate Congress, Americans love Congress and that is why 95% of members of Congress are reelected every two years.

Conclusion: Unions don’t like what Congress does on their behalf unless they get a free pass on the costs and the redistribution comes from everyone else ... and to them. BTW union wages and prevailing wage (and minimum wage) are nothing but another form of redistribution.

Which is not unlike being the best ice hockey player on Guam.

That’s “hate, loathe, and despise”...on good days.

We are building the guillotine.

Hey! I’m an equal opportunity hater when it comes to the unions and the AFL-CIO. I hate Congress in equal portion to the unions.
