Just one day without a stream of bullshit from the GQP would be nice, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

The funders are paying their expenses for this. The driver employees can't afford all this protest time off.

14. This is the first time I heard about this Act

I think a big problem for Democrats is that we just don't get the press coverage that the other side gets. I read, watch or listen to news a few hours daily (retired), and this is the first time I heard of the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Relief Act. Plus, in public places where a TV is playing news, it is almost always Fox, it seems. I am getting really tired and angry about this situation. I wish a very wealthy Democrat would buy out Fox News or build a radio station empire to counter all the hate radio out there.

18. I read that over 50 Teamster pension funds alone are rescued by this.

Some teamsters should be aware. The Teamsters Union worked for years, lobbying congress, holding rallies, etc, and would of course report this great news to their members. But not necessarily in political partisan terms.
