When you are stuck in a traffic jam next year and see six union construction workers standing on the side of the road all making $50 an hour watching one guy with a jack hammer working, know that your tax dollars have been spent wisely.

Likely the job will be non-union. Of the six guys watching, there will be one supervisor, one foreman, a safety rep from the company, an engineer, and two govt inspectors. One inspector will be a Homeland security guy. When they aren't watching they will be in the trailor holding a special meeting of how to get more safe productivity out of that guy on the jackhammer while swilling coffee and supporting at least three donut houses. Assuredly they will be making more than $50.00 an hour each. The job will be run by Halliburton and will not have to be bid.
