Just think what would follow if this were passed by Congress and signed but President Government:

Road projects that received federal money: Set pay for construction company management and labor…and make sure they pass muster with the local unions.

Colleges that get federal money: Set pay for professors.

Hospitals that get medicare or medicaid: Set pay for doctors, nurses, and administrators.

Why stop there?

You have it backwards, the law states that they pay “prevailing wage rates” but those are set by the unions and the effect of government spending is to inflate wages and not control them.
