Lets throw in Davis Bacon, “I’ am” the President, and this will be good for my base, big business, and “I’ll” make sure, it’s looks like “I’ am” spending Americas money judicially, and it will, also look like “I” care, about the large sums of money, we are forces to spend, because of Katrina. There is a lot of “ the letter, I”, and not any “those devastated,” and this will be, “what's good for the American people’s, Federal money,” only words, and actions, like “what’s good for the Contractors,” there is no, “what’s good for the children of the lost, and hurting people,” and Bush has not said, the people who have lost all there material goods, there homes, there Jobs, there savings, this will be good for them… when Bush signed, and Executive Order, to suspend, (with no sunset,) the hard earned wage rights, won (by Unions, and Blacks, and the poor in general, ) Bush raped the already underpaid workers, (Avg pay in Region, $7 – 10 per hr.)

Katrina combinationed the State, and knocked many out, from the people to the Governments, (City, State,) and left them bloodies, bruised, and many dead. What Bush did at the behest of 32 Congressman/persons, was too stand up the parents left, and punched them in the stomach, hard.

Bush IS effectively saying to their faces, you can rebuild, but you won’t make, even close to FAIR wage, you’ll barely, make enough to afford food. The people will say to them selves, health care in not affordable, and savings, never again in my lifetime, a car is laughable. And we hoped for hope from our president, and Bush said, I’ am thinking of the people’s money, Oh yeah and the Business people who will hire “you people,” to re-build, and the Federal peoples money.

He didn’t limit what the Halliburton’s of America, and the Bectol’s, the Kellogg, Brown, Root, and every other private business who will pay less for work, and profit more, and only re-build at minimum standards. Bush didn’t require high standards, for the companies who will be, bidding, or no-bidding for work. Bush didn’t make sure the people’s federal money was doled out to minority Contractors, he’ going to rely on existing rules, watered down by his cronies, placed in charge, and of oversight, kind of like, what Bush has done in placing people, or dumping people in FEMA, he trust these people. But what Bush doesn’t trust is for an American worker to be paid a fair wage, in catastrophe. Making sure the worker has at least in the region, he or she lives, a prevailing rate of pay to deal with the economy, that will employ ever-increasing cost of living raises.

Listen, and hear me good America, what did you expect from a Hostile Administration to Unions, and Workers, and helpful, and ALL loving towards, the Energy, Health, Insurance, Banking, Military Industry, check it out for your self, Bushes Domestic agenda is smoke and mirrors, give money to Education, but not enough for the legislation forced through Congress, but more then the past Administrations, then in the out years cut it to the bones, Bush on his watch has seen the Manufacturing Industry, devastated, and the owners, have left in mass, to set up Operations outside the USA, to survive, taking the jobs with them, and there Corporate Home bases as well, and the taxes they use to pay in the USA, well that’s a double whammy, to the country, and the worker.

Bush has done absolutely, nothing for the American workers, Nationally, or Internationally… but buy the MILLIONS, the American worker has VOTED for the very man who is single handedly turning America into a First world, Third world country, by his every act, Bush destroys every hard fought protection he can, at every turn of events.

You see, when they scattered all the 250,000 people devastated by Katrina, all over the nation, those people were the very ones who would of protested in strength, what Bush did, by signing the Executive Order, the very talent, to re-build New Orleans, and the Gulf Cost, was living in the Gulf Cost, and they only needed to be moved out of the Devastated Parishes, and at most a slight distance of about 50 miles away to camps, so they could assist in there own re-building efforts, but now there’s no Voices, and the Republican Conservative Right, in concert with there leader have continued there coup, battering the City’s Leaders, and the State’s leadership, keeping them busy, while the Carpetbaggers move in, to bid on the reshaping of the region, the way the moneyed few want it to be re-build, Bush is slamming the door shut, on the workers in the region, all the way to his brother state… THE LAST THING THE DEVESTATED PEOPLE NEED IS A FAIR WAGE… Bush is saying!!

Commander and, Lead Thief.

Republicans Urge Suspension of Davis-Bacon Wage Act for Katrina Recovery

"It's this simple: Hurricane Katrina took away their jobs, now President Bush will take away their wages when they find new jobs. This is a partisan and punitive decision that will make economic recovery much hard for workers and their families.

Congress Vs. Minorities: The New Davis-Bacon Rulesby Scott A. Hodge and Andrew J. CowinExecutive Memorandum #299April 09, 1991 |
The Department of Labor wants to create job opportunities for tens of thousands of American workers, many of whom are minority, poor, or unskilled. The Department plans to do this by expanding the use of helpers on federal construction projects regulated by the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act. Yet Congress is attempting to block these efforts. To protect high-paid union workers at the expense of low income workers, Congress has tacked provisions onto the Persian Gulf emergency spending bill (H.R. 1281), soon to arrive on George Bush's desk for signature, that would prohibit the Labor Department from using funds to relax the regulations now preventing less skilled minority youth from working on federal construction projects.
