Inaction in Louisiana prompts Gov. Jindal to take care of matters that the Obama Administration have fallen behind on according to Michelle Malkin. “This is leadership on the front lines, not just on the sidelines. Louisiana GOP Gov.

New legislation sponsored by Senator Bob Casey, S. 3157, would give taxpayer backing via the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). If the union bosses get their way on this bill, there may be no stopping the tsunami of pension bailouts for both public and private employees that will follow.”
