had proposed a Teamsters Union Pension Relief Bill, which of course, me and my Dear Readers would pay for.You can find details at http://www.teamster.org/content/teamsters-make-progress-pension-relief-jobs
The Teamsters have twice as many retirees as they do active members and their pension fund lost 30% in the stock market thrash last year. Your bill, Senator Casey, would help restore the money that the Teamster retirees lost so that they could have a better retirement. After all, they are the "1.4 million hardworking men and women in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico."
Uhhhh, Senator Casey, excuse me, but I lost 30% also and no one is helping me. I'm having to scale back my lifestyle and I was "hardworking." How about the Teamster Retirees scale back too, rather than me pay for them, further setting me back.
I feel badly that Union Retirees are not going to have the life in retirement that they were promised. Guess what? Neither am I. Neither are millions of other retirees. Say, how about you make up my 30% loss, Bob?

Fair is fair, Bob.
