Toxic toys are no fun at all
A writer is asking for public comments on the toxic toy issue and the Chinese manufacturers whose products are turning up often on the recall list. That’s a good topic. The writer, Susan, says: “I’ve had it with this dangerous way of manufacturing, and I think many others have as well.” Thanks for the idea, Susan. Susan and I would like to hear what others think about this problem.

What is it going to take before a ban is put on Chinese imports. There has already been sickness, death and millions in lost revenue. When is enough enough?

Unfortunately America doesn’t have the privilege of refusing China. In a short statement, “They own us.” Check out what is being reported today about the low value dollar compared to foreign currency. It is shameful.
I have great empathy for parents of small children. I don’t know what they are to do.

Sad but true, China has us by the short hairs and has not even fired a shot. We try to cut trade with China, they could cause a few problems. … Besides were else could we get our tainted dog food, tooth paste, toys and etc.. Now, less just not throw blame at China, If you look at the “Big Picture”, Southeast Asia has invested “BIG” in the “Good Ole USA” and it owns real estate, big companys, I think you see where this has gone. OH, don’t want to forget our friends to the south of us, they are helping us to carry on the good life with all their cheap labor that’s helping the Big USA companys save money by going South of the border. That way they can past the saving on to us, Right!!!!! Think about it?? They are already here and have not fired a shot. God Bless Our Troops & The USA
