Is the U.S. Government Going to Buy Chinese Condoms With Stimulus Funds? The Move to End Jobs at Alabama’s Alatech

So, it seems that the heparin scare wasn’t enough to deter the United States from trusting China with things we hold dear. According to McClatchy’s D.C. Bureau, at a time when the federal government is spending billions of stimulus dollars to stem the tide of U.S. layoffs, should that same government put even more Americans out of work by buying cheaper foreign products?

Guess what’s next? Chinese condoms. The government is switching to cheaper off-shore condoms, including some made in China. The move will reportedly cost 300 American at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which has distributed an estimated 10 billion U.S.-made AIDS-preventing condoms in poor countries around the world.

The government is close to accepting condoms from two offshore companies: Unidus Corp., which makes condoms in South Korea, and Qingdao Double Butterfly Group, which makes them in China. Funny, we experienced bird Flu from the Chinese, e.Coli, heparin scare, inferior quality of products and we are going to trust them with condoms? Get ready for more problems.
