| Bush moved
quickly last week to help
victims of the hurricane
by suspending the
Davis-Bacon Act in the
devastated areas. What is
the Davis-Bacon Act? |
| A ) | Bunch
of red tape which could
slow recovery efforts. |
| B ) | Competitive
bidding regulations which
could delay
reconstruction. |
| C ) | Law
requiring federal
contractors to pay
construction workers
prevailing wages, which
could cut into
Halliburton profits. |
| (Hint: Dick Cheney is
on the scene.) |
|
| Former
President Bush personally
thanked Wal-Mart's Walton
family as “marvelous
philanthropists” for
their donation to Katrina
relief efforts. If the
average American family
gave the same percentage
of their net worth as the
Waltons gave, it would
be: |
| A ) | Oh
gosh, more money than you
could shake a stick at. |
| B ) | Tons
and tons of generosity. |
| C ) | $7.74. |
