  2. Republicans want people to became educated?Thats why they are always attacking teachers,the dept of education,pell grants etc


    Republicans want people to became married ? Unless they're homosexual

    Republicans want people to became educated fruitful , successful, rich ?Thats why Republicans fight to bring low wages and benefits to every worker in America.Thats why republicans continue to fight to keep the healthcare system as it is so when a person does work hard and is successful they can lose it all due to medical bills etc

    Republicans want people to became patriotic ? By calling the President every name in the book ,threatening succession and civil war etc


    Republicans want people to became spiritual ? I guess thats true the way they try to shove their religious bullshit down every Americans throat

    Verizon Employees to Return to Work .

    Article

    About 45,000 Verizon Communications Inc. workers agreed to return to work Tuesday, extending a previous contract for 30 days, after striking to protest deep benefits cuts the telecommunications giant was seeking to offset declining sales in its traditional wireline business.

    The old agreement remains in effect for 30 days beginning Tuesday, while negotiators continue to work towards a new resolution, the two sides said.

    In a new contract, Verizon wants to freeze pensions, tie pay increases more closely to job performance, make it easier to fire employees for cause and require workers to contribute $100 or more a month toward health-plan premiums.

    Verizon or its unions—the Communications Workers of America and Internatinonal Brotherhood of Electrical Workers—could halt negotiations within 30 days if they determine they aren't making progress, provided they give the other side a seven-day notice, said Verizon spokesman Rich Young.

  8. This Verizon story is so effing hilarious.

    Let's revisit a 2009 memo from the SEIU from the Obamacare debate:

    “Action: Opponents of reform are organizing counter-demonstrators to speak at this and several congressional town halls on the issue to defend the status quo. It is critical that our members with real, personal stories about the need for access to quality, affordable care come out in strong numbers to drown out their voices.”

    You just can't make this shit up. It's golden.

    BTW- the number of Obamacare waivers is up to 1,472.

  9. You can ignore, minimize, and excuse what the big boyz did all you like, but the bottom line is had they not stripped the system clean like a swarm of financial locusts, there would be plenty of cash to pay for the bennies.
