Oh how right you are. We should be jumping with glee at guys like Reagan (union buster), GHWB (union buster and good friend of FRANK LORENZO), and GWB, union buster. Seems like every time these guys get in office, labor (us) takes major hits. Yeah, I'll take republicans anytime. Then I can take my taxes and pay for this abortion of a war that GWB got us into. Okay, I know that the Iraqi's did this to us and we have to attack them to prevent it from happening again...........at least that's what the republicans seem to think. Funny how Saddam has cost our country so dearly, and even after his death he's STILL costing us dearly. At least the oil barrons are making a killing. I feel sooooo much better knowing that our dilapidated ATC system isn't worthy of being updated, but sending money to a country that hates us is a great idea......................
