WTO to U.S.: Eat Chinese Chicken
OPS_admin | Jul 31, 2010 | Comments 0
So… this is the deal. China gets to manipulate currency, charge VAT tariffs against our imports, freeze out U.S. vendors from gov’t procurement, steel our technology, etc. But we have to eat their questionably raised chicken.
So says the secret deliberative decision making body at the WTO.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) delivered a ruling against the US ban on chicken products from China, said a report from China Daily on Wednesday, citing sources close to the dispute.
As the ruling takes effect shortly, the US market will be opened up for finished chicken breasts exports from China, said the report.
In its interim ruling in June, WTO said that US ban on chicken exports from China was not in accordance with its rules and regulations.
Citing confidentiality, the officials concerned with the matter did not disclose any further details on the ruling, the report states.

Who will you vote for this year: Big Oil, Big Casinos, or Wall Street?
Billionaire hedge fund manager - and primary contributor to Rick Santorum's Red, White, and Blue SuperPAC - Foster Friess let the truth slip out about politics in this post-Citizens United age during an interview with Politico. Friess was among several billionaires who attended the Koch brothers secret meeting last month where over a hundred million dollars was pledged to beat President Obama.Trying to get other oligarchs on the side of Rick Santorum - Friess said, "There isn't a person at the Koch brothers events who would not get a good return on their investment by investing in [Santorum] as president, because of what they believe about the free enterprise system." The key word there: investment. These aren't campaign contributions - these are investments that millionaires and billionaires are making to keep their tax breaks, their subsidies, and their lax regulations in place.We no longer have actual people running for President - we have a few very, very rich people like Friess and the Kochs investing in stooges to do their bidding - and hoping to see major returns in their bank accounts. So who will you vote for this year? Big Oil, Big Casinos, or Wall Street?-Thom(Who will you vote for this year? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
