bush Is Poisoning Americans

Q: How can you tell when bush is lying?
A: His chimpanzee lips are moving.

Alarmed by slipping support for free trade even among Republicans, bush is arguing that protectionism will cut Americans out of chances for more — and better — jobs.
Bush has launched a blitz on behalf of pending free trade pacts with four nations. He continued the push Saturday in his weekly radio address.

"More exports support better and higher-paying jobs," the president said. "And to keep our economy expanding, we need to keep expanding trade."

Since Democrats took control of Congress in January, it has not approved any free trade agreements that the administration has negotiated, and it has allowed bush's authority to negotiate future deals under expedited procedures to expire.

But also since Democrats took control, it has been uncovered that China has been exporting toys containing lethal doses of lead based paint. It has been found that food being imported from China does NOT meet American FDA standards.

Before lawmakers now are agreements with Peru and Panama, considered likely to pass, and with Colombia and South Korea, both seen as precarious. The deal with Colombia is in trouble over human rights issues and there is strong opposition to the South Korea agreement because of barriers erected by Seoul to keep out U.S. autos and beef.

More poison. More sub-standard, dangerous products.

The administration already has reached agreement with Democrats to include tougher language on protecting worker rights and the environment. But critics say five consecutive years of record U.S. trade deficits have played a major role in the loss of more than 3 million manufacturing jobs since Bush took office in 2001.
