The Labor Secretary Hilda Solis on Wednesday claimed that her new government-issued SUV signals her support for American workers. The SUV is made in Canada with Canadian-made parts.
Made in America ??? Duh!!!! I don't think anything is completely "Made in America? anymore. Well, if anything is I'm sure a foreign company owns the factory and any profit will not stay in America.
Could it be that part of the problem is that those in charge at the Labor Department (DC for that matter) have never labored in the private sector?
jawbone of the ass is needed Thanks for posting this. It truly shows the mentality of the people in charge. Hope and change...Yes I hope for change.
Exactly why the "Career Politician" is more of a threat to our way of life than any invading army could ever be... Our leaders were meant to be "Representatives "; folks that had lived and worked in the same environment as the rest of the population. They are diametrically opposed. A man can go to the very best medical schools for the next 20 years and try as he might, he cannot tell someone what it feels like to give birth or even be pregnant for that matter...
In her defense it is a GM product and many of the parts are made and sourced here in the US. However, a person in her position should know better and look at the damn sticker to see where it is made and what percentage is US parts.
Guess bus was a little vague... Luxury motor homes that were purchased by The tax payers so that he might go on his little three day tour to find out what folks wanted. Note: This was not a campaign event. .... . ... . ... . ... . ...
They came from Hemphill Brothers Coach Company in Tennessee. Last time I checked and was even in TENN it was still a part of the US. These buses were not just for the Prez to do that 3 day tour but are for the US fleet, The Secret Service bought the buses in anticipation of the busy 2012 presidential campaign and assisted in the design of the vehicles. "We felt we were overdue for having an asset like this in our fleet," Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan told CNN. "Candidates and presidents have been participating in bus tours since 1980."
Yes but They only upfitted the shell which was manufactured in Quebec, Canada by Prevost.... A fine manufacturer of luxury motor homes indeed... Information obtained from ABC news.
