BUYING DOMESTIC IS FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE WELL-INFORMED: Obama Labor Boss Buys Canadian-Built Car: Says purchase was to show support for American workers. “To show her support for American workers, President Obama’s labor secretary, Hilda Solis, has junked the standard black limo and purchased a new Chevrolet Equinox to ride around Washington in. The problem: the crossover SUV is built and assembled in Canada from parts also made in Canada.” Okay, this goof isn’t really about arrogance — arrogance and the Chevy Equinox don’t go together much — but about the difficulty government officials have in understanding markets. If Obama’s Labor Secretary can’t even figure out where her own car is made, how well can she understand the rest of the economic stuff she’s supposed to be “managing?”
