President Bush has signed an executive order to allow contractors rebuilding the Gulf Coast to pay 'below the prevailing wage.' WTF? So, just when people need jobs and would take them to rebuild their community and their lives, President Bush once again shows his disdain for the poor by allowing contractors to pay below the prevailing wage in the region.

Now, we've been to the Gulf Coast. The wages there are already probably the lowest in the country so how much lower can they get? Maybe contractors can pay these people in chicken feed. After all, they've already been treated like animals left to die in their own filth.
