Fox Allows Elaine Chao To Omit The Damage Her Husband Has Done To The U.S. Economy
Fox's Maria Bartiromo and former Bush Secretary of Labor, Elaine Chao conveniently forgot to mention Chao's husband, Mitch McConnell when talking about the slow economic recovery we've had since her former boss almost put us into another Great Depression.
Here's how she responded during a discussion on the stock market and the damage we've seen from China in recent weeks when asked what she thought about the economic recovery we've seen since President Obama took office.
CHAO: What we are seeing right now is a lack of growth in wages, and frankly it's been very puzzling. This has been one of the most slow, the slowest recovery that we have ever seen. You know, we've been in a very deep recession, and so the bounce back should be much quicker than what is now, and the wage growth as well.
Puzzling huh. It's not puzzling at all. The stimulus should have been bigger and we desperately need spending on infrastructure and trade policies that get Americans back to work, instead of protecting multi-nationals and giant corporations and their race to the bottom on wages. We need more labor unions out there looking out for the interest of workers rather than more right-to-work (a.k.a. the right to bankrupt a union financially) laws and an increase in the minimum wage.
