“The world pushes China” to improve standards. In the mean time, we continue to import these items. Books claim we cannot get along without the Chinese goods. Sounds like Bush and the illegals BS.

AUTOMATE and revitalize the US Wealth! The economy is great if you think the dollar is strong. We make NADA and export the jobs. Serving hamburgers to each other isn’t very lucrative is it? (Overly stated but you get the idea.)

The Chi Coms are making a lot of drugs now. Wonder why you’re not feeling well? Why old mom died at the nursing home?

But hey, Deputy Dog Federal Gooberment is on it. Trust them.

We can place blame squarly on the heads of the Globalists.

Let’s make sure We DON’T elect another one.

The Chinese are learning that those pesky quality/safety/environmental bugaboos really cut into the ol’ profit margin. Its hard to care about the end-user.

Does any of our baby food or products used in baby food come from China?

I never thought of human blood protein as a snack, but whatever.

There are so many outbreaks of this & that now. Recalls ALL the time. With things like fibromyalgia & things doctors can’t explain you have to wonder how deep this really goes.

Everybody has this general, vague notion that ‘the authorities’ check up on this kind of stuff, but when you read about the FDA or other inspectors, they say stuff like, “We can not inspect everything.”

I do not think anyone is checking.

Yesterdays news had a story of a Chinese guy in Mexico, who imported drugs. The Mexican police found 150 million dollars in cash, in his house.
