Although right now taxpayers could possibly be on the hook for $165 billion, the liability could essentially be unlimited because these pensions have to be paid out until the workers die.
Time for those death panels to kick in...

Unions used to be a good thing, making sure companies weren't abusing the workers. But it didn't stop there, unions now wield almost unlimited power over some of Americas largest corporate entities.

But as history tells us, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Unions have entirely too much power, and they are using it to force legislation to get even more.

No good will come of this.
