Low Income Families Hurt By Ill-Conceived, Anti-China Consumer Safety Law

Slow zone ahead

Given the Chinese history of melamine in milk and tainted pet food, I would be cautious in eating White Rabbit Creamy Candies.

"Tainted wheat gluten, used as an ingredient in moist pet food, killed at least 16 dogs and cats, sickened thousands of others..."

American made

I'd like to see more American made items here in America. Everything I try to buy is made in China. I want to buy American made clothing, appliances,food,toys and all the rest.I don't understand why aren't we making more in America.I'd like to know why the White House and congress is not on top of all these posinous stuff. The only problem I have is our auto industry, they don't build to last and have poor service. They are to greedy.

Democrats likely slow to fix this.

I called Sen. Klobuchar's office today to register my suggestion that she expedite the re-write (or at least, a moratorium on implementation) before more damage is done to small companies, charities and the jobs associated with them. Her staff acknowledged that they were surprised with the consequences of the bill but didn't give me the impression that they'd be able to persuade Sen. Reid or Sen. Durbin to "fast-track" it back on the Senate floor for action. So much for "saving or creating" jobs!

The Law of Unintended Consequences operates like the Law of Gravity.
