Chinese Toys

Although I feel that this thread is now totally derailed I will answer the question posed ....

Can you include some info on how you ascertained the "illegal"'s immigration status?

I got the information from the owner of the restaurant who denied him the beer in my presence.

If the Chinese are still using lead paint, and there is an absence of oversight on imports, why do we think that lead paint stopped being used in the US back in 1982?

Thank you Slick Willie, that free trade agreement you signed with China seems to be working out well. He's the reason why we've exported manufacturing jobs to a nation that sells missiles to whomever has the cash, jail political dissenters and pay wages of a dollar a day. Sure seems like a good move now doesn't Bill! Flooding the US market will products that have NO Inspections or oversite. You can't lay this one on W. Although he's done plenty of stupid things too.
Presidential Treaties do not have to be voted on by congress. So everyone be ready for the North American Union. Canada, USA and Mexico under one currency, open borders and free movement of goods and people.
Wake up we've been sold out again.

All party politics aside; Bill might have opened the door, but W has had almost 8 years in office and a majority rule in Congress. What was stopping him from rescinding this? It was never on his agenda. He could have challenged the agreement and made changes to it anytime when he saw the problems developing. Why has he ignored it? He and his administration look the other way, and throw the occasional sound bite of concern for us to the airwaves, but it's still happening.

Our government certainly isn't looking out for our interests, wonder whose interest they are looking out for?

Either face the mirror or turn your hand around when pointing the finger of blame! You wanted cheap products and you got them! Did you REALLY think they weren't cutting corners and giving you a lower quality product for that low, low price? If so, there's a bridge in Brooklyn and some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale :roll: .

As always, you get what you pay for!

Exactly.... supply and demand is what it is all about.

The bills and the pills that kill

Sadly Mattel didn't cut their prices to reflect the bargain they got in China. Have you priced Fisher Price playsets or American Girl dolls. When was the last time the price dropped? They went to China, got the cheaper deal in production, but didn't pass that on to the consumer. Mattel did what every other big business did, increased their profit margin.

Ok Thisd thread is officially over.

To sum up, Bill Clinton/Geo. Bush are not directly responsible for lead paint in toys or defectrive tires. The business community can carry 75% of the blame, personal responsibility needs to be stepped up a bit.

Personal responsibility is everyone's responsibility--whether you are a Democrat or Republican . People have the power.
