48. The real problem today is that a hell of a lot of the gains unions................

..........were responsible for in the 30's, 40's, 50's 60's and 70's have been rolled back. 8 hour day, 40 hr wk, holiday pay, vacation pay, fucking health insurance for christ sake. I am sorry to say that EFCA looks like having less and less chance of passing at this point. I doubt ANY Republicans will vote for it and many "Democrats" will not vote for it either. And, after November there will be even less chance of it coming up for a vote.
