I noticed that the actors, I mean citizens, in the Obamafomercial seemed to all have something in common.
Retired Railroad worker: likely a Union Member
Teacher: member of a huge and powerful Union
Auto workers: both members of a large and powerful Union
So, my question is: since these Unions are for the most part looking out for their members benefit, even above any success of the work they purport to do, WHY don’t they:
1) make sure that health benefits of some kind are available after retirement?
2) train people like the auto workers in general skills in case the needs of employers change?
3) educate their members about budgeting and priorities?
It’s enlightening that all these people feel so hopeless, when millions are risking life and jail time to sneak into the US to clean offices and replace roofing.
Great point about the Unions!
