I'm disappointed. I didn't hear Jim Lehrer mention *'s executive

[Ilsa]

order to lift wage requirements for federal contractors in NOLA. Lou Dobbs covered it pretty well, but I didn't hear even a blurb on the news summary. Did anyone else hear it?

1. Obviously one of the many "pay-offs" to Katrina that Bush, Cheney

& pals were busy discussion as Tuesday, Wednesday rolled around.

Yes - lower wages makes for less inflation..very important for the narcissistic rich who want to see this stock market continue to roar. While not sacrificing anything to the war, to katrina aftermath and forcing the bill for all of this onto the generations to come.

They need wage cuts & under-employment to match every oil rise - or - a recession may happen. And we all know that the narcissistic rich don't want to have their stock growth stopped for one minute.

Didn't we notice too that there is "no place" in the USA that has extra jobs for all the Katrina evacuees. No place in America that has a good job market. And we are apparently in great times!
