Deal was, you no eat mad cow, you no raw lumber.

So now the Japs buy raw lumber from Canada - and Canada gives us a discount on natural gas.

It's the Art of the Deal.

Corporate greed is responsible for the manipulation of goods and services, and unfortunately, the payroll of support staff is the first casualty to suffer that mandate-here in America. Unions are frowned upon, as if they are forming a mafia syndicate, to engage mutiny on corporate agenda's. Instead, factories are built in overseas, workers are paid in crumbs, and the cycle of poverty has virtually wiped out the middle class, or any class standing between the rich and poor. Now that it's a "world economy", and no longer an American economy, the excuse to reduce the quality of life for most Americans has commenced, thwarting anyone's hope, or effort to challenge the system. No one man can fix this, and those men who have the power to do just that, would rather feast on the backs of the hungry, and pretend that they are a law unto themselves.

First the Chinese poisoned dog food.

Then they poisoned baby food.

Now they're adulterating fish.

But corporate America is SO in love with their communist workforce that no sin is too great.
