Do the math: Commerce and Treasury Secretaries: 4 balls; Labor: None.
Would it were that simple. What did you expect, the former CEO of WalMart?

What I expect is what was done. What should have happened is Fred Thompson being elected president and the Department of Labor being dismantled.

How many past labor secretaries can you name?

Very few, but I have a feeling this Solis creature is planning to make a name for herself.

It ain’t socialism if labor is special. Nobody is special and we are all truistic.
