Krueger …. supported the Fair Labor Standards Act and Occupational Safety and Health coverage for inmates, as well as the right to form or belong to unions. (Source: Corrections Today 10/1/99)

Krueger being Alan Kreuger, Barack Obama’s new top economic adviser.

He also wanted taxpayers to pay prisoners minimum wage and overtime.

So how would this work out? Go to prison, get a guaranteed job with overtime. Plus, if taxpayers don’t sufficiently reward you for your criminal behavior, what, you could strike?

This is the guy Barack Obama is relying upon to turn the economy around. A guy who wants national manufacturing taxes and supports unionizing and compensating prisoners.
