Interesting story, fascinating concept:

Transparent Honesty
Losers | 6:40 a.m. June 8, 2009
I reviewed the ARRA, stimulus funding package, and the one thing to help the economy has been outright ignored and discarded. The one and only provision to stimulate the economy by forcing employers to pay more in wages has been dropped from the stimulus package. Thus keeping americans unemployed and on less than poverty income in this State. This is being too business friendly as a state and cripples our economy. We can't call it a recovery because that implies restore to previous point of economic excesses.

Our economy needs and must have higher wages if it hopes to even maintain and economy. And to tell employers they don't have to meet the needs of its workers with better pay and expendable incomes is economic disaster and what put us here. Business and higher wages and benefits must be mandatory for any kind of recovery.

But the state is more interested in taking on the role of supplementing low wages with welfare and social programs. This is asinine politics breeding more disaster for citizens and our economy. The major use of economic federal funding has been to balance the state budget and provide more social programs.
