The Bush Administration is threatening to veto legislation that would improve health care at Native American reservations and would require that federal contracts active on those reservations pay people fairly.
Why? Who would the Bush White House do such a cruel thing, especially just as the American economy is heading into the gutter again?
“The Bush administration said in a statement that the labor provision would violate long-standing administration policy,” says an official Bush Administration statement.
Long-standing administration policy? What long-standing administration policy? Oh, yeah, the long-standing policy of the Bush Administration to screw over American workers whenever possible - whether they’re Native Americans or not!
Equal opportunity cruelty. How reassuring.

This is standard Bush polciy towards Native Americans. His administration has failed to respect many aspects of the treaty rights Native American nations have, for example the fence he is building across Native lands along the US-Mexico border.
