Perhaps with all of the gloom-and-doom language preceding passage of the Obama/Pelosi government enrichment bill you didn't hear about this little goodie. It seems that this so-called "stimulus" bill also has a little present in it for labor unions. Under Pelosi's bill any stimulus-funded construction project will have to either hire union labor or pay whatever workers are hired union wages.
Now there's stimulus you can believe in: Paying inflated wages to construction workers on government projects is really going to propel our economy into growth mode virtually overnight.
