First, let me point out that some of the Presidents we still admire had a sharp focus on labor policy. Some administrations (none in recent history unfortunately) have featured Presidents in lock-step with their Labor Secretary. By contrast, the current focus and power structure is a bit frightening. Besides Cheney, the main players on the world stage are the President (and yes, I still use that term loosely) and his "WAR SECRETARY." Okay, I digress.

Yesterday, some new wage rules were implemented. I don't even know who the Labor Secretary is, but I'd guess he or she comes from industry. At any rate, who do you think are the direct beneficiaries of the new rules? Sure, I know, the conservative geniuses here will assume (incorrectly) that we all understand and agree that whatever "business" find pleasing will lead to jobs and health benefits and peace and love and a decadent utopia for all citizens. But in the meantime, the initial beneficiaries are businesses.

Anybody confused as to the agenda of this, or any other, Republican administration? And whether someone can support this Party of Industry depends on whether you are in one of two groups:

1) A member of Industry, directly benefitting from this corporate welfare or,
2) To stupid to understand what everyone, including Bush The First, knows, which is that supply-side economics is voodoo economics. It does not work.

So, unless you are in one of these two groups, you're disappinted at the way your fellow citizens are being treated by our "president."

Right?
