The Davis Bacon Act not only hurts taxpayers, it hurts everyone else too. I've priced building jobs on government property and had the misfortune of getting a couple. One the workers figure out that they're getting an inflated wage to work on a certain job, their production mysteriously goes down to a crawl. So not only are you the taxpayers getting ripped, so are the contractors.

Only $10 billion???
Oh, they must mean per day.
Just about every metropolitan construction project in the country is based on “prevailing wages”, union speak for their higher wage level.

I know several people who are working or have worked davis-bacon wages. They always chuckle and laugh and rib each other when talkign about it, becaus ethey know they are being paid more than 2 times what they normally get but hey, that’s just the way it is right?
