Obama Makes Another Corrupt Deal Behind Closed Doors

Socialist Barack Hussein Obama promised America hope, change, and transparency.  What we have gotten is the most corrupt administration in modern times.  Dictatorships in 3rd world countries aren’t as corrupt as Obama, his administration, and the Democrats.  If passed Obamacare socialized health care will be the most corrupt unethical legislation ever passed by Congress.

Behind closed doors this week the corrupt Obama administration negotiated with unions on Obamacare.  The unions were upset about a premium tax their members would have to pay for their ‘Cadillac’ health care plans.  Another round has gone against America.  The unions got huge concessions.  The unions win and America loses.

Thursday Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and nine other lawmakers met face-to-face for seven hours to resolve differences between the House and Senate Obamacare health care bills.

 At the same time these talks were going on, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern and United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger met with other Obama administration officials in a separate room in the White House.

This all comes after these same labor leaders met personally with Speaker Pelosi yesterday, and after they met face-to-face with President Obama in the White House on Monday. Despite then-candidate Barack Obama’s explicit promises to the American people, absolutely none of these meetings were open to the public or televised on C-SPAN. In fact, Politico reports: “Those involved in the talks sought to keep details of their progress under wraps.”

What deals were Big Labor, the socialist majorities in Congress and the Obama administration making behind closed doors? How to pay for Obama’s likely $1 trillion Obamacare  health care plan without raising taxes on one of the President’s most loyal constituencies: labor unions.

Specifically, Big Labor reportedly has struck a deal with health care negotiators to exempt union members from the 40% excise tax on high-priced health insurance premiums. By some estimates, the tax would hit one in four union members. Now Big Labor will get all of the big government health care spending they always wanted, but they will not have to pay for it.

And Obamacare’s Big Labor handouts don’t end there. The legislation also sets aside $5 billion to subsidize the costs of employer health benefits for early retirees. As Heritage fellow James Sherk notes, few nonunion employers, of course, pay pension and health benefits for workers to retire at 55. And then there’s the small business exemption from the employer mandate for businesses with less than 50 employees. At first this applied to all small businesses, but after aggressive lobbying by Big Labor, non-unionized construction businesses were not exempted. Big Labor lobbyists explicitly admitted they wanted to use Obamacare’s job-killing employer mandates as a competitive advantage to drive non-unionized firms out of business.

America the unions want to put non-union construction businesses out of business.  Socialist Obama, his administration, and the Democrats are putting small businesses out of business to garner union support.  The unethical and corrupt Obama and Democrats are beyond anything ever in America.

We can stop Obamacare and the corrupt Democrats.  Write, phone, fax, and email your Representatives and Senators.  Tell them NO to Obamacare and the corruption in Washington.  Tell them if they vote yes to Obamacare that at election time America will vote NO to them.
