BTW Does anyone know what happend to the topic "Government". There is no good topic to choose for this article anymore.
Sounds like a good place for displaced New Orleans residents to strat learning a trade, rebuilding their city, and learning a sense of self worth.
"This will bring in the illegals."
No, the illegals are already there.
What this will do is hopefully save the federal government money, and give employment to the people from the area who have been put out of work. The prevailing wage law is an idiotic, liberal idea meant to bolster unions. Basically a payback for union support of dems. The law itself has been suspended before in other disasters.
It's a stupid law, and it should be repealed permanently.
Well I see what happened now. Somehow I posted this under chat and the topics are different there.
I have never been agreable to executive order. Not when Clinton was doing it and to be consistant...Not when Bush is doing it either. That is why we have a legislature.
The moonbats will go crazy. How long until Bush wants to bring back slavery?
Bush it just trying to hurt the African American's that he couldn't kill!
Very funny. But actually if you think about it any president could declare by executive order that all americans must work for no wages at all. And that would in fact be slavery.
Are you a racist?
We’re all racists, just for voting Republican. Didn’t you get the memo?
And he could declare the every american must jump off a bridge at noon on tuesday.
Or he could declare that when we debated a subject, we'd have to refrain from making ludicrous statements in an effort to reinforce our positions.
I don't see either happening.
are you for or against the davis-bacon act??
Davis-Bacon is one of the most racist laws ever passed by the Regress. The impetus for the law was not the unions per se (although they certainly approved of it), but the desire to shut out from the workforce the flood of Southern rural blacks who were migrating to large Northern cities, and who were very willing to work for lower wages.
The mods moved it to news, and I added the government topic for you.
bump
LOL!
I believe slavery was already a large problem in N.O.

Excellent! Screw the unions!
Oh..Thanks :)
I have seen almost nothing but people who appear to be illegal aliens. Maybe I'm stereotyping the hispanics, so I can't say for sure.
Correction to my last post: I have seen many people who appear to be illegal aliens in the construction industry. Especially in the South.
