Scrap Davis Bacon and all prevailing wage laws. End collective bargaining of public unions Enact national right-to-work legislation
Jesus H. Christ we need wages to go UP not down, particularly if we end up in a inflationary recession. And further destroying labor's power by taking away collective bargaining will be a return to old school Gilded Age labor abuse all over again.

Further eroding the middle class and poor's wealth and standard of living will not solve anything!! Permalink
