Update: those (few) worried if America’s overactive Attorney General, best known for soon to be confiscating guns and perhaps shipping them off to Mexico, and doing nothing else in the past 4 years, will stick around for Obama’s second term.
And no, before the questions pile in, she was not fired, as poetic as that would be (nor was she replaced by a 65 year old, part-time worker as is the case with the vast majority of the US labor force). She quit, saying “decided to begin a new future, and return to the people and places I love” and that as the product of “a large Mexican-American family I never imagined that I would…serve in a president’s Cabinet.” From WaPo: “Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said in a letter to colleagues Wednesday she was stepping down from her post.” Of course, using the BLS’ own policies and “logic”, this means the unemployment rate just ticked even lower. We look forward to Hilda’s book due out in 6-12 months bashing, who else, Tim Geithner.
