George Will - Out Of Touch With Reality

I just viewed this video:

It does not seem to matter how many of the facts hit George Will in the face. He still cannot understand their meaning. The only people doing better under George W. Bush are the wealthy, and not the regular top 25% of Americans, but the very top 5%. But Will remains "willfully" blind, saying that we have a healthy economy. Wrong. The "economy" is not just corporate earnings, George. The economy is how the average American is doing. If you and your neo-con buddies are all willing to completely ignore how the majority of Americans are faring, then you will soon find this country suffering another revolution, and it will not be a revolution based on political ideals but on financial realities. I suggest that the powerful, wealthy, elitists of this country wake up before the rest of us wake you up. The latter will be rather unpleasant.

More Garbage From China

Fisher-Price Recalling 1 Million Toys

Mattel announced that they are recalling 1.5 million - yes 1,500,000 - toys that were manufactured in China because of high lead levels in the paint. What is happening?! Talking heads here in the U.S. and government officials from China will tell you that its because of "poor oversight," "corruption," or "inability to keep up with rapid growth" in China's economy that are causing "problems" like this to occur. I don't think so. I believe that China has found a way of dumping their garbage in our country by putting it into products that they sell to us. It's rather ingenious, really. Manufacturing creates waste products. What better way to rid yourself of these wastes than to put them into the products that you will be exporting to other countries. Put that risk of disease and death upon another country's population. Increase their healthcare costs. Raise your own country's wealth and power by default. Our greatest threat is not from radical Muslim regimes like Iran but from the most populous and soon to be most powerful nation in the world. China has the intellect, will, and ability to infect our society with serious ills that will slowly but certainly degrade our health and our economy.
