Elaine Chao, Department of Slave Labor

She actually said, I shit you not, "The ultimate arbiter [of economic performance] is the stock market." This is who Bush puts in charge of the Department of Labor, someone only interested in publicly held corporate wealth. Think about that, ladies and gentlemen, your homeowners prices don't matter, your jobs don't matter, the quality of life doesn't matter (what goods get produced, who cares if 10% of federal receipts, in supplementals, just went to bombs), nothing matters, except the wealth of the publicly-traded corporate owners.
