The Republicans never stop trying to stiff the working man and woman:

This story in the New York Post (found by Democratic Veteran):

[Senator Ted Stevens - Alaska]

"I really feel strongly that we ought to find some way to convince the people that there ought to be some volunteerism at home," said Stevens, a Republican who's chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

"Those people overseas in the desert - they're not getting paid overtime . . . I don't know why the people working for the cities and counties ought to be paid overtime when they're responding to matters of national security," he said.

When will that 20% (or whatever working class fraction) of Bush supporters realize that the Republicans are screwing them over royally?
