Now Federal contracts require union labor:http://sev.prnewswire.com/construction-building/20090206/DC6802106022009-1.html
Here are the names of those who voted for and against taking the "Buy American" wording out of the Stimulus Bill. I expected it from Kay Hagan, but not Richard Burr. So, protectionism and unions are going to be our economic salvation. It's all just a little bit of history repeating. If this keeps up I am going to revise my recovery timing to beyond its current 2010 timeline.
With thanks to Greg Mankiw and Phil Rothman for the ideas...
And one for the road....

I am sure we will soon lone for the days when government contracts were given to the low bidder.
I might start a financial planning union so that I can bid on the Thrift Savings plan that government workers use as their 401k. Since I will be the only unionized investment advisor I should be able to charge a hefty fee. Does anybody want a job?
