Bush suspends Davis- Bacon Act for Katrina relief

Here we go. I'm not exactly sure what the point of this is. Maybe some of you more conservative folks can explain it. What is the point of dropping the condition of fed money that people make a decent (as determined by the market in the region) salary? It seems to me that the cost of labor is going to be passed on to the federal gov't by the contractor. If they have to pay less however i'm not seeing any assurances that those savings will be passed on to the fed gov't. Especially cosidering the existence of no bid contracts.
