Have you wondered why President Obama supports unions -- especially public employees unions - and why democrats want to obligate our children's and grandchildren's future to paying for these lavish pensions after public service employees retire at age 50, 55, or 60? The problem is that the Dems have been running a PONZI Scheme and there isn't any money for future retirees. If they were subject to the Sarbannes Oxley Law they would all be in Jail now.
