Sadly, $165 billion seems so paltry these days!
To bail-out union pensions, I bet it is just a drop in the bucket.
Although right now taxpayers could possibly be on the hook for $165 billion, the liability could essentially be unlimited because these pensions have to be paid out until the workers die.
What the article doesn't say is why the pension funds are so underfunded: They used the money to elect Obama and other Democrats in the 2006-08 cycles.
They want to establish a permanent slush fund for the election of Democrats.
If all 41 don't filibuster this, it really IS the end of the Republican party.
