"whatever happened to price competition?" with the help of economic analyst richard gill we'll examine these questions on this edition of "economics u$a." i'm david schoumacher. there's no business bigger than the auto business. if you've shopped for a car recently this is a familiar sight. it looks like real competition a variety of products at a variety of prices. but is what you see what you get? it was when you bought one of henry ford's model ts. henry ford didn't invent the car, and he didn't invent the assembly line, but he brought the two together and gave america its first mass-produced and mass-purchased car. ford was an inventor and mechanic by trade, and no effort was spared to improve the car and to improve the process b

like the great depression, this is one of our legacies from calvin coolidge. he fixed so many things in our lives. friends of mine did a pulitzer prize-winning series called "tainted justice," which has become a book. i recommend the book to all of you. shoe leather reporting. they went through hispanic north philadelphia where of uses narcotics cops had rated bodegas -- raided bodegas and essentially robbed them because they had plastic bags in their stock. plastic bags, you might realize, tend hold drugs. they can also hold drug leftovers you realize. there was film of a police climbing up on a counter to cut the cord to the surveillance camera so he could robbed the cash register. fortunately for justice generally, he cut the wrong court. not being a very bright concealer of evidence. they were accused credibly by women who were molested by one of them. the story ran for weeks. it was done with the cooperation of the commissioner of police, who i think is a good guy. one of the things you have to understand is, nobody who is at the top of an organization ha

calvin coolidge in 1919 made his bones when the boston police went on strike. he and the mayor went, i believe, technical term is, they went bat -- what they essentially did was play it for political reasons. they did the ronald reagan traffic controllers thing striking cops were not allowed to come back, yadi yada. the result of that, almost every city with unionized cops there is an arbitration procedure. cops can't strike. what they can do is win every argument in arbitration. the arbitrators are hired by both sides the police union and the city. if the city is trying to hire a cop. now really hard to get fired. in the arbitrations of policemen accused of serious crimes, and fired, by the police department in philadelphia, 90% of them got their jobs back through arbitration. arbitrators split the difference. arbitrators are at the mercy of the police union. another one like the great depression, this is one of our legacies from calvin coolidge. he thinks of so many things in our lives. friends of mind did a pulitzer-prize winning series called tainted justic

as you mentioned the first to do this was calvin coolidge and probably the person who changed it was you think about it about 14 years before he became president he gave a lot of funny speeches at dinners and so he was very much in his element. and so it greats expectations after that. >> how does obama, say this is his seventh one. how does he stack up against the predecessors. >> the laugh-o-meter. >> i think the one thing that he has in common is most don't like to come to these dinners. the large dinner when they have to make a speech and they are expected to be very funny because most of them are not naturally comedians and in recent years because these things are so publicized. not only on c-span but msnbc tomorrow night and all over the place, they feel they have to perform almost to the level of the comedians that are there. and it takes a lot of time. and barack obama has gotten very good at it. but this did not necessarily come naturally to him. >> and you had given an example of nixon in the beginning there. >> the gift that keeps on giving to historians. >> and i look at

calvin coolidge june 1919 when the boston police went on strike he and the of mayor went the technicalterm is called bat shit play it for political reasons to do the traffic controller thank there were not allowed to come back but the results is almost every city with unionized cops there is arbitration procedure they cannot strike but they can win every argument the arbitrators are hired by both sides and the city. it is really hard to get fired in the arbitration and accused of serious crimes and to be fired in philadelphia of 90 percent got their jobs back through arbitration. arbitrators will split the difference. there at the mercy of the police union. like the great depression is of legacy from calvin. he fixed so many things in our lives. friends of mine did a pulitzer prize-winning series called the team to justice which has become of book in direct command that. they went through hispanic north philadelphia where abusive narcotics cops had rated bottega and essentially would rob them because they had plastic bags. plastic bags can be used to hold drugs it also holds leftovers.

coolidge 1923-1929 successor to lawrence harding carried out her role as apolitical, demonstrates complete allegiance to her husband, calvinrefrained from trying anything new. maybe speeches of any sort and is forbidden from wearing trousers is directed to host tea parties and ladies luncheon. she obliges with delight. another example of eisenhower 1953-1961 serves as a perfect model of 1950s life peachy to follow his instructions quite blissfully and shows no deviation from being described boundaries. she does what is exactly expected out her domestically socially. perhaps all telling quite illustrative of her tenure and i quote, i crave the country. i turn the pork chops. what i had done on the first ladies i continually had this padding of first ladies who walk through the spotlight. others remain shrouded in darkness throughout the 10 year, part of the tenure. the other flow appears to be the individual to her education level of confidence her fears her relationship with her husband, definitely the political climate. what is happening come is the economy waiting, is it improving? public perception, how did the media pe
