Tracking Your Taxes: U.S. Worker Provision on Military Project Could Bleed Taxpayers - Political News - FOXNews.com: "The five-year project to rebuild the critical military installation in the Pacific will require an estimated 15,000 workers. Normally those workers would be locals or neighboring islanders, but Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii) wants those jobs to go to Americans.

A senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, Abercrombie amended the House version of the 2010 Military Appropriations bill so that 70 percent of those workers would have to be from the U.S."

That means an increase of about $1 million for each extra American to get the work.
