Thanks to the Democrats

The recent headlines featuring the tainted foods stemming from China, prompted me to dig back into history and the cause for this unfortunate conflict.

Back in the days, China was known for their exotic and genuine products, regardless of how poor they were, you knew the goods were true to form. So what happened? Mostly the locals point their fingers at the corrupted officials and greed.

The world (yes world) has grown dependent on China and their cheap costs of manufacture. Prancing further into history, China was happily bestowed with Favourite Trade Nations, not once but at least twice. A trade agreement that allowed China to export unlimited goods and services to the United States, tax and tariff free. Precisely the beginnings of the addiction to low cost products, despite the bellowing of advisers in the wings screaming "NO!! DON'T DO IT" at then President William Clinton, a member of the Democratic Party.

Currently the world (yes world) has China as a crutch while we hobbled with our own ill economies, trying to figure why factories are closed and the products are manufactured overseas. We are so addicted, as cheap imports is compared meth, we don't know where to turn for alternatives.

Point to make here, check the labels, buy American made (or non-China origin), and rethink how the philosophies of the political agendas will shape the economy. Actually considering there is no hope for us, consider how politics will shape the economic environment of the next generation.

PS: With all the political turmoil and terror treats, my thoughts always raced to the Cowboy President. What will President Ronald Reagan say?
