Mr. Pearlstein,

Thoroughly agree with you here:

And if we're going to spend billions to upgrades roads, bridges and public transit and create jobs for unemployed construction workers, what would be so terrible about temporarily suspending the rule requiring that union wages be paid? That way, more jobs would be created and taxpayers would get a better return on their infrastructure investment.

But why temporarily? Seems to me that creating more jobs and saving taxpayer money are things we should desire in perpetuity.

Regards,

Colin
