If Americans buy American made products they will have fuller wallets to buy with. I also wonder aboutthe house bill the UAW is against. House Bill 2830 is causing a lot of commotion on Capitol Hill as well as a lot of stir from various unions. Many have not paid much attention to 2830, some think its another strain of the H5N1 bird flu, others think its just another tax bill they will be getting hit with. If you work in a unionized shop, or factory, you may want to dig a little deeper into the details of this bill that is going to the House of Representatives for approval, it could have a drastic affect on your livelihood.


The Pension Protection Act of 2005 (H.R.2830) is legislation that has resulted from Congress’s belief that the retirement security of American workers who are covered by defined benefit pension plans is seriously at risk. Congress feels that many of the pensions are under-funded because the pensions do not have enough money to pay all of the benefits they have promised. Congressmen have deferred to the recent United Airlines pension disaster as an example of the importance of this bill. Congress has also mentioned the Government Accountability Offices’ report that detailed the under-funding of the 100 largest defined benefit pension plans between 1995 and 2002.
