In: David Sirota, on The Huffington Post, explains the importance of unions and how they keep up our wages (on the "in" side for employment).
Out: Marie Cocco explains how Rep. John Boehner of Ohio is kow towing to his business friends and messing around with "defined benefit" plans for older workers (on the "out" side for retirement - it depresses me unutterably when I see Roman Catholic politicians join the Republican Party). In a way, Boehner is right, though. "Cash balance" plans are attractive, but only for the high-profile corporate types (God, when will people ever get wise to the fact that that is the ONLY audience the Repugs care about?).
