"Later, the president addresses the AFL-CIO convention in Pittsburgh, where he will urge the nation's largest labor union to support his health care overhaul." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090915/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_labor Don't like the way the news is reading for this transaction tax....
I don't see any mention of the transaction tax. I think I remember reading that the afl cio wouldn't support a healthcare plan that didn't include a public option (it looks like the public option isn't likely to happen). I guess he's going to try and and smooth things over? IMHO the transaction tax ain't happening... -Guru
