Hmmm 600Million dollars now I guess I know why someone spends $5 million for a job that pays $200k

Why does UPS need to spend this?

Seems so much more could be done than allowing politicians to be bought off.

Unions are nothing more than Democrat campaign organizations. That is why Dems are so staunch in their defense of them. Has NOTHING to do with protecting anyone other than people in positions of power.

Ask Bill gates. Microsoft gave nothing for years, then he was taken to court. Cost him millions in legal bills.

You are aware Congress can pass bills that are detrimental to a business.

But but but, rich corporation fat cat gazillionbillionaire big oil profiteering capitalist greedy conservatives are going to control the elections with their donations....
Meanwhile Obama prepares to launch the first billion dollar campaign, and I am sure he will be counting on all the unions that his stimulus bill supported to pay up for the favors.
