"Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao is leading a "high-level" department delegation in "the most comprehensive engagement ever by the United States with China on labor issues," the official announcement says, and "the visit is part of an ongoing review of America's economic relationship" with China, which got a big boost a couple of years ago when China got a $4.1 million Labor grant for a "Rule of Law Project" and a
$2.3 million mine-safety grant."

Wait a minute!!!!!!!!! Let me dig around a bit....
Ah! Here it is...:
“Bush went to Pennsylvania to meet with the nine coal miners rescued earlier this summer to congratulate them. He also
cut the budget for the Mine Safety and Health Administration by $4.7 million out of $118 million total.” (Molly Ivins, 29 August 2002)
Do we hear a one, big, "WTF?"
Why do Bush and Chao hate Americans?
