The Senate Help Committee passed a pension "reform" bill yesterday.
Kennedy (along with Hillary and others) voted FOR it. Kennedy was a co-sponsor.

One of the so-called "highlights" of the bill:

"Clarify the law governing hybrid pension plans, both retroactively and prospectively"

THEY LEGALIZED CASH BALANCE PENSION PLANS!

Harkin was the only Dem on the committee to vote NO.

<emphasis, not shouting>
THEY WILL NEVER BECOME THE MAJORITY PARTY IF THEY KEEP VOTING LIKE REPUBLICANS.
