Finally!

If all goes according to plan, the Davis-Bacon Act (isn't that a typing program?) will be reinstated. This is the act temporarily suspended by Bush so that workers in the gulf region would be paid the national minimum wage instead of the prevailing wages of the region thereby keeping more money out of the hands of the people actually working down there, trying to get a life going again in this torn region. I wrote about this earlier, one of the most despicable things Bush had ever done in his presidency domestically was taking that money away from the people who need it most and were the ones who were actually working there. They're wage cuts paid for the obscene money handed over to the Royal Caribbean cruise ships that housed Katrina victims and to the unbelievable ill planned trailer parks being built to house these people, away from everyone else in their own modern day ghetto. Apparently what brought Bush arround were republican congressmen from the industrialized northwest whose constituency is still largely unionized. See the unions still can do some good! Just watch out cause Bush said he wants to "push the envelope" for cost cutting so he won't have to raise any taxes to pay for all this reconstruction. Let's see how he gets the money out of the poor and gives it to the rich next...
