Hillary's Heart of Glass

It seems that Obama's Secretary of State doesn't care about job creation in the United States. Madame Secretary's department is buying $5.4 million worth of stemware for U.S. embassies from a company in the tony Washington D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown—but the company is sub-contracting the work to a company in Sweden. The reason the contract is going to Sweden is because there is allegedly no U.S. company which could meet the 100 percent lead-free requirement. Environment-loving Democrat Clinton is hoisted with her own petard: her own U.S. laborers are disqualified from making a product for their own country because of a government-forced environmental regulation.

I'm surprised that there's no outcry from the GMPIU over this injustice.
