The FDA in China - Not a Good Way to Deal With the Problem

Someone in Washington thinks that the FDA can do what the Chinese government has constantly failed to do; protect people from being poisoned by Chinese goods that are constantly laced with pesticides,drugs, and who knows what else. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that someone in Washington has a little too much confidence in the 13 FDA employees who are being sent here. These people will probably soon find that they would have better luck inspecting and overseeing operations at a North Korean nuclear 'power plant.'

For cryin' out loud. They can't handle the states... so they're going to "ittle-bitty" China. Sheesh. Here's a flippin' hint:

Buy American, American Gov't

Yeah, I’m sure they’ll inspect all the mugs and dinnerware made with leaching poisons, the bedspreads and pillows loaded with bird flu contaminated feathers, the melamine-salted foods, the lead painted toys.

It’s about time we insisted that anything imported must meet the same food, safety, environmental, and labor conditions and regulations that we impose on American manufacturers.

If I don’t buy Chinese, then I don’t have to worry (so much) about what’s in the product or depend on the FDA to protect me. right....

A hopeless job, they might as well start taking graft at once and get rich, as they won’t get far stopping the evil imports.
