WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama signed a series of executive orders Friday that he said should "level the playing field" for labor unions in struggles with management.

Obama also used the occasion at the White House to formally announce a new White House task force on the problems of middle-class Americans, and installed Vice President Joe Biden as its chairman.

In another move favorable to organized labor, the president signed three executive orders that union officials say will undo Bush administration policies that favored employers over workers.

I'm really hoping all DU'ers will chip in their $5 or $10.

4. This is a great idea, brain storming wherever possible is the best way out of this. >

The main ideas needed right now is peaceful ways we can get the Republicans to cross party lines for the greater good.

6. Submitted an idea to them.

Next time there's a bailout, give it to the middle class. $700B is about $9K per family of four. $9,000 makes a lot of mortgage payments or car payments. That would help the financial companies better that way. Rest assured the banks would find a way to get hold of that money. But it would stimulate the economy many times over as it percolated upwards.
