Katrina: A Chance To Screw Workers

Led by Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL), Jeff Flake (AZ) and Marilyn Musgrave (CO), 32 other Republicans sent a letter
to President Bush yesterday asking that he use emergency powers to
suspend Davis-Bacon, which requires that workers on federally-financed
projects be paid the prevailing wage.

    So, get this: while you and other Americans are taking money out
of your pockets to help the Katrina-area people recover, the
Republicans want to effectively negate everyone's efforts by forcing a
wage cut on people who might actually get jobs--to replace those they
lost because of the hurricane--in the reconstruction efforts. Your tax
dollars--that would be the $62 billion, at a minimum, that would flow
in federal money to the area based on Bush's request yesterday--would
be the best way to help workers get on their feet, way beyond the
charity, in the form of decent, paying jobs. But, nooooooo....

I'm getting really sick of saying this stuff over and over (and over again) Republicans suck. Its that simple.
