Well, sandra, I'm not sure what your question is but I'll take a shot at it.
Back around 100 years ago labor organized into unions and used leverage, including strikes, against management in order to achieve living wages.
This served labor very well up until about 20 years ago when management decided if it put enough money into buy the governemnt then it could perhaps turn back the clock a little.
Well, the plan worked to perfection and this Omnibus Funding legislation is the smoke from the flame from the candle on the cake. It, in essence says, "We're the Boss! You ain't! Now get yer ass back in the cotton field!"
You're going, "Hunh?"
Well, deep within this *Appropriations Bill* were all kinds of policy changes. The "overtime" change will stripe approximately 7,000,000 workers of overtime pay. Yeah, Boss Hog can work 'em as much as he wants now, just like the overseers did back in the days of slavery.
The NRA policy change is equally rotten and will 100% certainly make America more dangerous as it will drasticlly cut down on the FBI and loacl law enfocement agencies the time they need to get recently purchase guns out of the hands of crimanls and would-be terrorist.
As for perscription drugs? We have our own problems with a new Medicare bill that was primarilly written by the drug companies and the insurance companies. It has this absolutle nighmare provision called the "doughnut hole" where you are covered, than you aren't, then you are, then you're kindof covered. It will be impossible to administer and will confuse the heck out of everyone. Who will benefit? But the drug companies, who contributed millions to Bush's campaign, will do very well!!! The insurance companies, who contributed millions to Bush's Campaign, will do equally well!!!
The senior citzens? Probably not too well at all....
