Three things the feds could do under Romney;
Cease all payroll deductions for union dues.
Kill Davis-Bacon
Kill the NLRB
Pressure states to take similar action.
Repealing the Davis–Bacon Act Would Save Taxpayers $10.9 Billion
The Davis–Bacon Act (DBA) requires the government to pay construction wages that average 22 percent above market rates. This shields unions from competition on federal construction projects. It will also add $10.9 billion to the deficit in 2011.
Given that the federal government is already running historic and unsustainable deficits, federal policy should not unnecessarily inflate the cost of federal construction projects. Congress should repeal the DBA.
Unsustainable Spending .
DBA Restrictions Increase Costs .
Repeal the Davis–Bacon Act .
America can no longer afford such special-interest handouts. If Congress is serious about reducing spending or lowering unemployment, it should repeal the DBA. Congress should also reduce the amount it contributes to state construction projects by the amount the DBA inflates costs. This would ensure that the federal government realizes the full $10.9 billion in savings in 2011. Congress should stop requiring the federal government to hire four construction workers for the price of five.
10.9 billion sounds sounds way to low
