Thread Name: BS: Bush cuts wages QUICK!
Subject: RE: BS: Bush cuts wages QUICK!
And here's the worst part of order: prevailing wages in the "area" where the work will be performed...

Anyone familiar with what folks earn in the southern "red" states? Not much compared to other parts of the country so the wages we're talkin' 'bout here are New Orleans wages... And who will be earnin' them? Folks from other areas where not onlt the wages better but the cost of housing is higher... What does this mean? Well, accordin' to the Wes Ginny Slide Rule, many skilled folks who will be doing this rebuilding will be taking pay cuts...

(But, Bobert, no one is holding a gun to their head makin' 'um go down there to work...)

No, that's right, they can elect to quit their employers and jeoprodize the 20 'er so years they have in with the company and maybe loose whatever retirement they have coming...

(Oh...)

Bobert

P.S. Tell me again why the folks in the south voted fir these guys...
