Gulf Coast Reconstruction Watch

Why doesn't this surprise me?

Work at the base has been a source of dispute in recent weeks because dozens of unionized electricians, many of them local residents who had their homes destroyed during Hurricane Katrina, claim they were let go by another Halliburton subcontractor, Alabama-based BE&K, in favor of lower wage workers. That came after the Bush administration suspended the Davis-Bacon Act, a law that guarantees the prevailing local wage for workers operating under federal contracts.

Sen. Byron L. Dorgan (D-N.D.), who has been following the case closely, said the discovery of illegal immigrants at the naval base confirms that Gulf Coast workers looking for livable wages are getting left out of the federally funded reconstruction.

So, a watch-dog site like this: Gulf Coast Reconstruction Watch, is necessary.

Big Bizness is a thousand-fold pack of wolves that does nothing except endlessly circle the herd looking for easy prey--US--to pick-off. We Americans have to invest far too many resources of time and energy to keep them from ripping the flesh right off our bones as we do the simplest and most meanial chores, like survive.

I get tired of the predator class...don't you? Please let's get these guys under control by putting Republican's out of business in 2006...
