Asshole Bush exploits political opportunities of Katrina

"it's not the time for politics" is the refrain bushco has repeated over and over, ad nauseam while continuing to seize every opportunity to shove their own political/ideological agenda down the country's throat... you'd think that exploiting something as horrendous as hurricane katrina and the ensuing and ongoing tragedies would be over the top... not for this crowd...

On Thursday, President Bush issued a proclamation suspending the law that requires employers to pay the locally prevailing wage to construction workers on federally financed projects. The suspension applies to parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

By any standard of human decency, condemning many already poor and now bereft people to subpar wages - thus perpetuating their poverty - is unacceptable. It is also bad for the economy. Without the law, called the Davis-Bacon Act, contractors will be able to pay less, but they'll also get less, as lower wages invariably mean lower productivity.

every time i think it's not possible for me to become more disgusted than i already am, bushco surprises me with something even more outrageous and unbelievable...
