The Pilot doesn’t understand, but it’s actually pretty obvious.
Down the road a piece:
It’s understandable that McDonnell wants to change the subject. He should have foreseen the inevitable backlash when he supported Republican lawmakers’ rejection of $125 million in federal stimulus funds. The money would have paid for unemployment assistance at a time when 300,000 Virginians are out of work.
What’s harder to understand is why McDonnell keeps insisting the issue is somehow connected to the Employee Free Choice Act, also known as card check, a bill before Congress that would make it easier for unions to organize workplaces.
Neither proposal makes the rich richer or the poor poorer.
It’s a Republican thing.
