Listen, the Republican headline on this needs to be:

"Obama denies stimulus money to non-union workers"

Good, and I agree. But also, what stops lots of construction workers who are out of jobs these days from organizing their own union? I'll bet there are a few FReepers, or FReepers who have family members without work and skilled in construction, that could organize to get this slice of the "pie" at a good price to the public ( and with high quality work).

You obviously have never dealt with unions, or seen their activities and such. They are very powerful, and would NEVER allow a new one to form.
