For anyone who didn't see W's speech last night, you can stop worrying, he is "providing money that can be used to cover overtime pay for police and fire departments while cities and towns rebuild." Thank Jesus the pigs can get their overtime. W went on with his laundry list of all the great things his government is doing to help rebuild New Orleans, although for some reason he left out the fact that he issued a proclamation on September 9 suspending the Davis-Bacon Act in certain parts of the following states: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. What is the Davis Bacon act, you ask? I'll tell you - it requires employers to pay the local prevailing wage to construction workers who are working on a federally funded project. So basically, W is allowing companies working on the rebuilding effort to fuck their employees, but is ensuring that the pigs will continue to get paid overtime for their arduous standing around efforts.
