Far-Left Shenanigans

Why? Why would labor unions spend huge piles of their money to support ObamaCare, only to turn around and ask for exemptions for their members?

Labor unions continued to receive the overwhelming majority of waivers from the president’s health care reform law since the Obama administration tightened application rules last summer.

Documents released in a classic Friday afternoon news dump show that labor unions representing 543,812 workers received waivers from President Barack Obama‘s signature legislation since June 17, 2011.

By contrast, private employers with a total of 69,813 employees, many of whom work for small businesses, were granted waivers.

There is obviously a power-play on an enormous scale playing out right before our eyes, but what is the end game for the unions?

The article also pointed out a tasty little tidbit about how deep Nancy Pelosi's corruption runs:

...nearly 20 percent of last May’s waivers went to businesses in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s district in California.

  1. Lady Red, the reason I did not comment here was because I was busy writing my tomb above -- which covers the same issue. But spot on anyway.
