Seems to me the question we need to be asking is *scarce for whom*? For the
poor, schools are scarce, medical care is scarce, violence free
communities are scarce, housing is scarce, nutritionally beneficial foods
are scarce, clean water is scarce, democratic participation is scarce,
electricity
You might remember how Reagan improved nutrition in the school by defining
Ketchup as a vegetable. By redefining overtime, maybe Bush can make
people feel les overworked.

Well, it's all about the cash.
The new regulations will exempt millions of workers from the premium pay
requirement for overtime work. The definitions of supervisor, manager,

Excuse the error, please, 10 million not 20 million.

This is an interesting site for information on reconstruction finances etc.
It would seem crony capitalism at least is thriving in Iraq if nothing else.

So if Soros funds it, does that mean it's all untrue? Should I stop

Rhetorical question?
Come on, nobody suggested any such thing. Read it critically, like you would
or should read the NY Times, without illusion or
denying its specific allegiance to a specific class interest.
We read the WSJ, Financial Times, the WTO, IMF, WB, BIS, BEA, Statistics
