When I looked over the long list of things that might be repealed, I had no clue what some are. <b>The Davis-Bacon Act</b> just jumped out at me, and I did my normal smart-ass thing of trying to make a joke out of it,. I changed it to the <b> Mavis-Beacon Act</b>. Bad joke.<br /><br />Since then, I did look up the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis%E2%80%93Bacon_Act" rel="nofollow">The Davis Bacon Act </a> and am not sure of the value of the law, and do not understand a $Billion spent on its behalf. <br /><br />It would be nice if I had time to research all this stuff.<br /><br />Bob<br /><a href="http://spuriousmissives.com" rel="nofollow"> Spurious Missives </a>Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665311979954859271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-3067579497344599622011-08-03T12:20:30.073-07:002011-08-03T12:20:30.073-07:00Hi, Soap, I think this has less to do with her cha...Hi, Soap, I think this has less to do with her chairing skills and more to do with favors.

There were probably a couple of things in there that ought to stay, like the publishing budget. I am sure that includes publishing the Federal Register, which is a complete record of the stuff Congress does.

More than $1 billion annually." </b><br /><br />I object to this on the grounds that these government employees need to know how to type. That's how I learned, and I am sure others learned using that particular typing tutor program.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665311979954859271noreply@blogger.com
