MICKEY KAUS: “Does the GOP Congressional leadership dare launch a fight over whether Davis-Bacon style wage schedules, beloved by organized labor, apply to various projects that use Obama’s stimulus funds?” I think they have to. The military term is “spoiling attack.” Plus this: “The incoming Obama team should actually want wages on stimulus projects to be a little below normal market wages, in order to nudge people to move into regular, non-stimulus private and public projects as the economy recovers, no? That was FDR’s policy for the WPA, though he had to break a strike to get it.”
