We're pretty much in agreement [with Donohue] that an infrastructure bank is a good thing, if properly funded," says Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO. So the money will go to Unions then back to the dems! 'Cause if Trumka is for it!???

“In 2008, organized labor’s get-out-the-vote efforts were critical to Obama’s election. And as the president’s reelection campaign begins its push to increase participation among the Democratic base, labor could play a big role.

But after a string of high-profile disappointments, including the president’s failure to push through bills overhauling immigration laws and making it easier to organize unions, Trumka said he has repeatedly warned Obama that union members may be less than energized about his reelection.”

This article was from August 25th. Afew days later he announce the ifrastructure bank with Trumka at his side. I wonder who REALLY came up with this idea?
