Bush says you're overpaid...seeks to eliminate overtime pay: As we approach the Thanksgiving holidays, Congress still has many unfinished projects on hand -- and in some cases, particularly the miserable Energy Bill, we should all hope they stay unfinished. But we do need the 13 annual spending bills passed: They're necessary to keep the government functioning. Congress, childish Republican stunts aside, claims to be working hard to get those spending bills to the President's desk. But incredibly, George Bush is borrowing a page from Newt Gingrich's playbook and threatening to veto spending bills that resist his call for rolling back overtime pay. Yes, the big-government Busheviks are willing to hold all of America hostage to their plan to engineer pay cuts for 8 million Americans working in the private sector. Congress has voted against the idea of cutting overtime -- but the President insists he knows best. Since they want your money, what's two more cents? Offer yours here. thenation.com
