"Another “surprise issue” for our bumbling Congress to deal with in 2008: proper country labeling for all imported food goods."

Absolutely; yet we have heard NOTHING mentioned about this issue on anyones campaign.

Currently, there is no requirement for any "American" company to list what ingredients in thier product came from where.
Our processed food supply is no longer secure, you'd be hard pressed to find ANY product on the store shelf that doesn't contain something made in China, with the exception of locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh meats.

So, if you want to ensure that you aren't eating anything imported from china, stick to the fresh stuff, and even then be very careful, ask where it came from if it's not labeled.

I am stunned anyone would start a business in China. Other then costing jobs to the civilized world, the Chinese government can swoop on and claim private property for “the people.” Just like what happened in Cuba. In fact Socialist countries have a pretty consistant track record of doing this.

When this happens, and we all know it will, will those companies be begging their respective governments for a bailout after losing trillions of total dollars? In otherwords, will the taxpayers have to pay for this outsourcing? Remember the Mexican bailout.
