The Senate narrowly passed the ‘Airport Screener Amendment’ giving Transportation Security Administration airport screeners the right to unionize. Union! Union! Union! Um, come together. There we have it.
And who would vote against the “Water Quality Investment Act”, well 58 people did. I haven’t the slightest idea what is in the text but the name sure sounds nice. Ahh. Government name = nice. I feel peaceful and calm now.
Right.
