Not that many people will get 15/hr. Take it home and pin it on your wall but it's just a political play for good publicity. All the issues he's been having at the border his team needed to make a move. Not a bad one, I'll give him that. Obama's team (which is his team) have always been great at keeping their guy in the positive social light

"Subsidize" is a transitive
"Subsidize" is a transitive verb, meaning it requires an object. That's why "the federal money will be subsidized" doesn't sound correct; there's no object. "Subsidizes money" has an object ("money"), but I still think it's more clear to write "provides a subsidy".

"Subsidized" is past tense,
"Subsidized" is past tense, genius. The object is still "money". Lol. Dude if your a grammar teacher then you're not a very good one.

It's not that simple, Timpane
It's not that simple, Timpane. Objects typically follow transitive verbs, they don't precede them, but your sentence (" You have no idea how the federal money will be subsidized, spent or contracted") also uses a modal verb ("will be"). We need Floops to parse this one out. I don't teach grammar; that's his thing. Mine is rhetoric and composition.

Seeing as how there are well
Seeing as how there are well over 4 million federal contract workers, it's probably well more than tens of thousands. For every high paid bridge painter there are a few minimum wage grunts.
Don't worry, you'll still make your $40 plus OT.

Nancy,
I stand corrected.
Thank you !
After a long day at work I reviewed the policies he is pushing.
Much more progressive than I had hoped for from him.
I'd like to see the energy industry nationalized, but that's gonna be for the kids to do.
