Retailers around the world including nations around China scrambled to pull popular toy brands off the shelves. This is after selling all of them to not suspecting consumers, our innocent children. Too late! The chemicals from these Chinese-made toys were found to mimic the effects of the so called date rape drug. Spin Master Ltd. Distribute these health hazard toys in North America.

These Chinese-made toys are being sold by all retailers here in America and that includes Target Corp. and Wal-Mart stores. Are these manufacturers and retailers exists just for mere profit? What the heck! Know what? This is substituting toxic chemical with a safe type of glue during manufacturing. What is the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission doing?

Are these Chinese companies don’t know better? Are they using cheap products or just cutting corners? Their issue about child labor has not been resolved yet. And now there is another bigger issue. And come to think of it, it is about safety issue of children — of our children.

Is the US economy aging? Slowing down? Is this the beginning of the crash of US economy? Are the US economic planners to blame? The one that benefited from this is the Bush Family, who is with an insider government connection — Carlyle Group.

The US economy, weighted down by the subprime credit crisis that started in the middle of the year. The global investment banks ended on losses, disastrous note, layoffs and marred by profit warnings. The signs are clear, indeed there is slowing and aging of US Economy.

There is a slowdown in the US economy and one of the reasons is the tight competition among exporters. There is an anemic performance of exports in the first 10 months, short of meeting the target. Government should protect our exporters.

There should be overhaul and reform to get back our economy on the right tract. The real cause of this crisis is monetary. Income assurance policy should be set-up for the benefit and welfare of every citizen of this country. Or should we say “In God We Trust”.

Happy New Year to All!
