$86B to settle under funded union pensions.
So how is the mismanagement of these union pensions the taxpayer's faulty ?

Are we so naive to think there was not a behind the door agreement.. you just do not give out that much of a payment expecting nothing in return..

I guess UPS and the Teamsters are off the hook..maybe? Right now both of them are doing a happy dance over the bail out.

86.000,000,000..just pocket change...

How is it the taxpayers fault that 600 Billion goes for foreign aid to countries that hate us. I would rather see the money stay here.
 

El Correcto

god is dead
Payments are phased out for individuals making $80,000 and married couples making $160,000.

If this means they aren’t sending me any of the money good. Don’t send this country to hell on my behalf I didn’t ask for this non sense.

If they're giving taxpayer money out, I'll take some of mine back. I suggest you make the right tax maneuvers to get yours too.

Save it in your GTFO fund for if these people get their way and turn this country into a Marxist hellscape.
