Made In China


On ABC News' Primetime tonight, Bob Woodruff gave a special report on China. The Chinese government's propaganda office must have assisted in writing it, because the program avoided any hint of criticism of the communist country.

One quote in particular was especially infuriating: "Americans can't seem to get enough of what China produces." Aaarrgghhh!!!!

We can't seem to get enough? Time for a reality check, Bob. We get much more than enough.

Truth is, Americans can't find anything to buy that isn't made in China.

American capitalists are digging their own graves (and ours, too) by having more and more of their products made in Chinese factories rather than in the U.S. As we lose our domestic manufacturing capacity and become more dependent on other countries to provide the products we need, our vulnerability to foreign economic intimidation increases (like it has with oil).

Lower prices today will turn into economic slavery in the not too distant future. Mark my words.
