Happy Labor Day

It is a strange coincidence that the Unions are in favor of the Public Option. They will never be subject to the constraints of a public option since their union contracts specify benefits which frankly are the main overdrive element of health care costs. I know of many of these plans which provide very comfortable benefits and which are also costly. So why are the unions supporting something that will never impact them but will burden many others? Does this say something about the mindset of unions?

The unions get their goodies from the current Administration and in return they frankly could care less for the people who pay their salaries. So I ask again, why are the unions supporting a plan which does not affect them? Political payback....or is there something else going on here?
