Chinese poison in dog food?
Speaking on behalf of Kansas, Polistra wonders what the hell is going on. Reports say that the poisoned wheat gluten in pet food came FROM CHINA.
Kansas, Washington, and many other states produce all the wheat we can use in America and plenty more besides. So why in the hell is the pet food company importing wheat gluten FROM CHINA???????
This isn't just a matter of globalization and tariffs.
We know that China is our enemy. We know that China sends thousands of spies into academic and industrial situations. We know that China is responsible for most of our computer viruses. China has been buying our raw materials and selling us screwed-up shitty appliances and computers in return. China has been running a campaign, just short of war, to destabilize America for twenty years now. Why shouldn't they toss in a little poison for our pets as well?
If our trade policy allows China to underprice Kansas, Washington and Iowa on WHEAT, for Christ's sake, something is grotesquely wrong with our trade policy. Not surprising, of course. George W. Vichy serves the interests of China and Mexico perfectly. Where do we get a government that serves the interests of the United States?
