The country’s broke - union are part of the reason. See a ‘union made’ label? Don’t buy the item. Put it down - walk away...

RE :”
This week, the Labor Department decided to shower Hostess workers with Trade Adjustment Assistance, a multibillion-dollar pork barrel program that was beefed up as a bone to Democrats, who were blocking passage of three free-trade treaties in Congress in 2012.
TAA is a lavish program doled out by the Labor Department for laid-off workers who've lost their jobs due to “global trade.”
It provides worker retraining due to the supposed evils of free trade plus moving expenses, baby-sitting expenses and as much as two years of unemployment pay. If a worker ends up making less than his union salary afterward, Uncle Sam spots the worker for 50% of the supposed lost wages in a “free” subsidy. “ This one shocks even me.

What do they mean, they can't find anything to cut?
Incredibly mind-boggling pork; cronyism on steroids.
Payback, eventually, will be a real (rhymes with) ditch!

Global trade has nothing to do with this!
