Obama's Plan On Autos - Take Over The Pension Funds

The unions AND the auto companies want Obama to land the big one; the retiree’s pension responsibilities. Neither one wants that on their plate.

I believe that Obama has a deal with the unions that trade major concessions by the auto unions in return for Card Check and government guarantees on the pension funds.

The one issue that is never discussed are the workers that have put in their forty years and are demonized for having a retirement plan that is inferior to the average politician. The unions knew that this would happen when they made the deal, and the autos were more than happy to squeeze their way out of negotiations with just a promise of future payment.
