O.K. guys,.....this is it,....the Big Push to get your Senator onboard with pension relief. The Supercommittee is supposed to rule on the Butch Lewis Act...S.2147....by November 30th.
The CBO has said that funding the pensions through that Act would cost the Government(TAXPAYERS) $34 billion,...as opposed to a mandated $100 billion to bail out the already underfunded Pension Benefit Guarantee Insurance fund.......(..deliberately underfunded over the years..)...
So,....We save money through this Bill. So,.....there SHOULD be heavy bi-partisan support for ....saving taxpayer money...
The 'usual suspects" have lined up against this Bill,...calling it a "bailout". The American Heritage Foundation, and ALEC,...or the American Legislative Exchange Council are both against it..(..they were both for the Wall Street bailout..)...
But the Chamber of Commerce has "defected" from the Big business standpoint,...and supports passage of this Bill.......
Trying to keep politics out of this,.....but NOW is critical to contact your Senator and urge passage of this Bill ..S.2147. Bi-partisan support is needed,...and your Senator needs to urge President Trump to pass it , too.....once it hits his desk.
Call 'em up,.....text 'em......Twitter 'em......whatever you're comfortable with,......but do it soon! Let's rescue that Pension promise that was made to us many decades ago!
