With A Friend Like You, Who Needs Enemies

Federal unions are telling the White House: with a friend like you, who needs enemies? Many are upset that President Barack Obama's budget plan would require federal employees to contribute 1.2 percent more of their paychecks toward their pensions. The plan also calls for eliminating the FERS annuity supplement and calculating retirement benefits according to a chained CPI. It's a triple whammy, according to the National Federation of Federal Employees. And the groups are saying, c'mon, a 1 percent pay raise after three years of freezes? TheNational Treasury Employees Union says it's "simply inadequate."

here is a novel idea. why don't they contribute 100% like self employed small business and find out what life is really about. scumbag unions offer nothing to the productivity of the US economy.

The progressives are finally fed up with Obama, the neo-con in socialist clothing. I'm seeing statements in the progressive media like "Obama served his purpose in defeating Romney" too funny. Well, y'all got what you wanted.

If you're going to use over used and irrelevant catch phrases, at least understand their meaning and use them in the proper context. Your syntax is a sin. Literally.
