Hey Gang,
Back after a short hiatus. And what a way to break my silence with a new article instead of tying up loose ends of ones I never finished. This article actually also goes back a few months. I have been keeping tabs of the products I have bought and the quality. This is my research. If you have anything to add, please forward it on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For my business went to Office Max to buy a receipt book. Adams receipt books are now made in Mexico but price is up to 8.99.
Dole peaches made in China, I found that Diamond are made in the US.
Tooth paste Mexico, wish I could remember the brand, I was so upset I tossed it back on the shelf.
At Home Depot I went to buy a pipe for the bathroom sink. I saw one older looking pipe in a plastic bag. It said made in the USA, the newer bags have the pipes made in China. Obviously I bought the older looking bag.
Save A Lot now has labels where the meat comes from, Canada - USA - Mexico.
Marcs discount stores went for tomato's. I just about threw them on the floor, grown in MEXICO. I never bought tomato's that night.
K Mart I bought a room darkening shade. I pulled it down to far and noticed that where it joins on the roller the shade was ripped. At the factory they used tape to keep it together. Of course made in China.
Home Depot, package of 3 screws and nuts. One screw wasn't threaded properly. Made in China.
For Christmas I made Walt & Jamie and Mark & Becky's children Christmas stockings. I went to the dollar store and bought candy. I was so upset but time didn't allow for me to replace it with better candy. The candy was made in China, some were poorly wrapped, others had weird shapes and the gum was so hard it didn't even feel or taste like gum.
Tainted Cocoa, I am sure if you investigate where this product came from it would say China.

If you haven't heard February 10th can bring an end to second hand clothing and toys for children. My question is why only second hand goods? Where is the lead contamination coming from? Is it in the products already? If it is then why isn't our government stopping this influx of contaminated goods from entering our ports and markets beforehand?

Do you remember the movie Schindlers List? Oskar Schindler was responsible for saving over a 1,000 Jewish lives by having them work at his factory. The shells they produced for the Germans were purposely made bad, not one passed the quality test. Schindler did this to stop the Germans from winning the war. And that is exactly how I feel with the crap that is coming out of China and other nations, they are trying to bring us down. We use to complain of products made in Japan. They were inferior to American made goods but still usable. BUT the majority of imports now coming from China are so poorly made that at times its not usable or in the case of food or health products, such as toothpaste where anti freeze was found in it, can cause illness or death. Salmonella is on the rise, almost daily you hear of a new outbreak. And yet President W. Bush is busy trying to get on board more nations to join the global market and neither party
wants
to repeal NAFTA or the Chinese trade agreement.
I don't care what stimulus package, tax break or bailout our government gives us, it won't work if you don't start at square one. And that is repeal - repeal - repeal, one more time, repeal unfair free trade deals with communist nations and third world countries that not only are taking our jobs but are jeopardizing our health and lives. Thats where you start. But everyone from Congress to the newly elected President Obama won't address this. Instead a new stimulus package is about to be revealed and the real culprit won't be recognized.
Say Good Night America!

Carey's Straight Talk
Wow where do we start. So much is happening - so much to say. Back in May I cleaned a Mr. Hero's, the owner was from Egypt. We got to talking about the economy. He told me when things in America are OK its bad in Egypt, when it gets rough over here things are terrible in Egypt as it is right now.
I've written this many times but as America goes so goes the world. All this clamoring to tinker with America socially and economically to get us in the global market has been the ruin of this nation. Instead of bringing the worlds standards up we have lowered ours so much the reverberation is felt worldwide. Right now, just to mention one more country, England's banks are in turmoil.
We can thank both parties for this. From President Bush Sr. who heralded the NEW WORLD ORDER and NAFTA, President Clinton who under his watch sold the soul of this nation on to President W. Bush who was busy trying to get even more countries on board like Columbia and Korea to add to the free trade list.
And of the three current running for office, Senator McCain signed all the trade agreements, Senator Joe Biden almost all and Senator Obama gave double talk when he said he's not for NAFTA but won't try to repeal it. Can this be why nothing is done about the illegals because soon borders won't matter?
I will never forget that day back in 1993 hearing the news NAFTA was signed. It was like someone just told me I was homeless, well it took a while but it seems this country is heading down the path where the majority could be left homeless.
In last nights debate the question was raised about what both parties have done concerning globalism and how its ruining America. Obama skirted the issue because he is a globalist and McCain I shut it off not to hear his non-answer so can't report what he said. Neither one wanted to tell you the real reason for this mess. I will, FREE TRADE and globalism.
Obama blasted President Bush of the deficit he has run up since he took office. But did Barack come out and mention some of the things W. had to deal with? Things as 911, a war, and natural disasters like Katrina. Or did he mention the biggest reason? President Bush Jr. is the first
president having to deal with China as a most favored nation. If NAFTA was a giant sucking sound that took jobs out of here as Ross Perot said then the Chinese trade agreement is more like a black hole. Both parties at the top won't fess up to this. And I have to throw it right back at Bush Jr. because as I mentioned above, did he try to pull back and stop the bleeding? No he wanted more countries lined up to connect the dots of a global market.
The banking crisis is a whole other story but if you want this country to turn around we need to take major steps right now to return jobs to these shores so people can pay off their loans or just eat. And the steps to do that are, repeal all unfair free trade deals - abolish unions and or enact right to work laws - tell the government hands off with your EPA, cafe standards and regulations - lower taxes - and become energy independent by drilling for oil, using our coal and build new nuclear plants. Until we do those things our standards will never return to where they once were and you might as well get in line for a global melt down and a one world ruler because thats where this is heading.

Want to know what is happening, look back to the 1990's
Are you watching the news? Don't think for second this financial mess is all because of bad loans given out by unscrupulous bankers, its way more than that. Our dollar is falling. Our country is quickly heading into third world status and it may possibly be already to late to reverse this inevitable outcome. Our country is broke! We have exported jobs and merchandise out of this country at a furious pace while our current President was busy trying to get on board even more countries like Peru, Colombia and Panama to trade with. Haven't we had enough of free trade deals that sends our dollars and jobs out of here?
Oh and some of you beat the drum of where is our Great American Savior of the middle class Bill Clinton when we need him? Remember folks, he did more damage than any other president. It was under his watch the Chinese Trade Agreement was signed. It was under his administration that Long Beach Naval Base was sold to the Chinese to unleash a barrage of cheap goods that has taken away our jobs. And then there was NAFTA heralded by Bush Sr. and put on fast track and signed by Clinton, the Defender of the American worker, yeah right.
The free trade agreements are some of the reasons why our country is in a mess. Do you think Obama/Biden two Liberal Socialists with globalist views, expanded government and higher taxes is the answer? C'mon don't make me laugh. McCain, nope. Sarah Palin? I hope that she is as conservative as they say. Maybe her conservative thinking can hold sway over McCain and direct his path back to protecting American workers and jobs.
May God help us.
Look at these links. Especially the first one. Make sure you pay attention to the words of ROBERT SCOTT.

Early today (11/15/99), President Clinton announced the finalization of trade agreements between the United States and China that will make it possible for China to join the World Trade Organization.
Under the terms of the agreement, China will remove its existing trade barriers and be granted permanent normal trade relations (NTR) status by the U.S., thus allowing Beijing favored access to U.S. markets.

Newly declassified documents show that President Bill Clinton personally approved the transfer to China of advanced space technology that can be used for nuclear combat.
The documents show that in 1996 Clinton approved the export of radiation hardened chip sets to China. The specialized chips are necessary for fighting a nuclear war.
Said Obama, "One million jobs have been lost because of NAFTA, including nearly 50,000 jobs here in Ohio. And yet, 10 years after NAFTA passed, Sen. Clinton said it was good for America. Well, I don't think NAFTA has been good for America -- and I never have."
And then Obama said:
"I don't think its realistic for us to repeal NAFTA," he said during a town hall meeting on the economy.
Clinton during the signing of NAFTA
.......In a fundamental sense, this debate about NAFTA is a
debate about whether we will embrace these changes and create the jobs
of tomorrow, or try to resist these changes, hoping we can preserve
the economic structures of yesterday.
(And what was wrong with preserving the economic structure of American jobs and our way of life? Fair trade not free trade!)
We have to tell American workers who
will be dislocated because of this agreement or because of things that
will happen regardless of this agreement, that we are going to have a
reemployment program for training in America, and we intend to do
that.
President Clinton
Do the research people, do the research!!!
May God help this country!
