Earning One's Pay

Via TPM, Team Shrub rescinded their suspension of the Davis-Bacon Act as it applied to hurricane Katrina reconstruction:

The Bush administration will reinstate rules requiring that companies awarded federal contracts for Hurricane Katrina pay prevailing wages, usually an amount close to the pay scales in local union contracts...

In the immediate aftermath of Katrina, President Bush suspended provisions of the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, which sets wages for employees on federal contracts to ensure they are not underpaid.


My own modest proposal is to suspend BUSH'S pay until he cleans up the mess he's gotten this country into.
