Payoffs at every level. Union bosses get credit, they take dues and give them to politicians.

Rather spend it on transportation infrastructure or border security or beefing up the armed forces.

Furthermore, they are totally woke and pathetic pawns of the woke media. They joined the commies after the NBA but they are still despicable.
