thread title: Democrat forces US House vote on Bush wage order

Some back story on this sorry, greedy Bush order to lower minimum wages for Katrina workers and an earlier effort to fight it:

The GOP is claiming this is to "help local people get jobs," but of course it is just more feeding at the trough at the EXPENSE of the local workers. Just like the suspension of the illegal immigration sanctions. The employers are profiting, everyone else is suffering, and the labor unions are helpless to fight the abuse of the labor force. That's just the way the Bushies like it.
