    Based on a Forbes article dated September 21, 2011 the 400 richest people in the USA have a combined net worth of $1.53 trillion. This is almost enough to pay the combined unfunded pension debts accumulated by the states. As the stock markets sink, this unfunded debt is increasing. We are beyond the point of taxing the rich to pay government debt.

    Eisenhower interstate highway system

    The problem is if unions are involved the cost is prohibitive.

    Before unions became as demanding and controlling as they are today, Eisenhower built the entire interstate highway system on a meager budget.

    Roosevelt had thousands employed in the CCC to do major infrastructure work at minimal cost.

    Do you think any of this would have happened based on the demands of today’s unions?

    This is why I am voting for Obama again this year. Him and Ron Paul seem to be the only people whom make sense today. However, I have more trust in Obama than Ron, which is why I am going to have to choose Obama over him. People blame Obama for our bad economy now, when it was already there before he got into office. It's not easy to bring the economy back but I believe Obama is gradually getting the U.S. there.

    President Obama is still “ginned up” on union Kool-Aid.
    If you don’t believe this look at the human props.

    The routine is the same:
    Democrats pay union members.
    Union members pay Democrats.
    This is not the solution.
    This is the problem.
