JONES ACT

[seagypsywoman]

I can't find the Bilge thread. Do we have one?

I'll post this here, but if there is a Bilge thread, perhaps we could move the discussion there.

A while ago I posted this on another thread and it started an interesting discussion:

"Bush and the Jones Act
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff temporarily waived the Jones Act upon the instruction of President George W. Bush on September 2, 2005. [1]

And here is the link:

I wonder if it's been re-instated."

Today, I see on Yahoo news, this item:

No wonder that Bush didn't re-instate the Jones Act. He's been selling the American ports.

Alright everyone, into your corners, fists raised.
