Thousands of airport security screeners could choose a union to represent them as early as March, marking the latest expansion of union influence in the public sector, which now has more labor union members than the private sector.

Wrong again old timer...WE PRODUCE NOTHING
Then we are really wasting our time each day by going to the office or factory. What we should do is just go out and spend, borrow, and hock. THAT would make is the most prosperous country of all times. Thanks for the insight, VL. Now we know how you run your household budget.

Cry about handing over ALL our money over to weapons maufactureres to build a bunch of weapons we don't need, cry about that money just going up in smoke, gone forever- but don't cry about your friends and nieghbors getting a little extra money because every dime of those inhanced wages will go right back into the economy..
