(58,785 posts)I knew about the USPS, of course, and the milking low of so many pension plans for profits and fees, but I confess whatever I may have read about multiemployer plans didn't hit home, certainly not that they hit them with USPS-type attacks. (Neither of us have pensions, so that topic is always about "others."
No wonder the conservatives are "restless" and anti-establishment fervor is high on both sides. I remember when conservatives just assumed they were on the same team with the 0.01% because they were all joined "together" to save America from our irresponsible and destructive policies. There was no telling them then, of course, and like so many here today most still prefer to lay all their problems at the Democrats' door, instead of their own.
