Yep-- they are ruining this country-- militarily, financially, and morally...

The other day I pulled thru the drivethru at the bank to cash a couple of checks...After the sweet little teller gave me back my cash and receipts- I asked her if she missed my buddy--as I had my pup with me...Now this bank has given out doggy treats for as long as they've had this drive up (30+ years)- and I was waiting for the doggy treat...

The little teller had to sheepishly and embarassingly explain to me that the Bank had banned the practice of handing out the doggy treats after the Chinese dog food incidents-- because of liability and the unsurity of which dog food treats are safe or not...

Burns my butt that we've given up safety and a way of life for a cheap supply and a corporate world that can stuff more in their pockets....

Yep saw that. Should really scare some of the companies that bring in anything marked Made In China.
Makes you want to look through your computor and if it is marked with that label to throw it away.

Hillsdown that is our government and the corporate worlds new idea of Global Trade...How much has the prices you pay for products dropped now that our money is par???? Even the local US banks today are charging 10% on Canuck money....

We've seen the same for years on pharmaceuticals- chemicals, weed sprays, cattle drugs, etc. etc--exact same products- but 40-50-60+% difference in prices between the two countries...The only free trade allowed is the trade that keeps stuffing the multinationals pockets-- and right now the multinational corporations that make land mines and weapons for the world are prospering-at the benefit of their Wall St. investors-- so there will be no interference...

Milton Friedman former Nixon and Reagan economic advisor has long argued that the North American Free Trade Agreement is actually not a "free trade" agreement, but rather is government managed trade. The essence of this criticism is that such trade agreements don't promote free trade, they inhibit it by implementing another level of bureaucracy on top of national governments. This can not only have a detrimental effect on trade, it results in an erosion of sovereignty for all nations involved and causes citizens and governments to be bound by decisions made by an unelected international body.

Yep-- We won two world wars-- not because our guys were any braver or any better fighters-- but because we had an industrial and agricultural base that could supply the Allies with unlimited food and war materials....

Now since these idiots in D.C. have sold out that part of our country, any third world country could take us over....About every military machine made takes parts manufactured all over the world-everything subcontracted to the cheapest bidder- and if someone (China) quits providing it-- we're stuck...
