Because....Free Trade with Communist China works! Says the Free Trader.
If it comes from Communist China...it’s crap
Q. When I buy plain aspirin there is no country of origin listed. When I call the 1-800 number, I’m promised a reply to this concern but the call is not returned.
Is there any aspirin made in the U.S. with American ingredients?
A. An expose in the New York Times Magazine (Nov. 2, 2008) revealed that there are no major generic aspirin manufacturers in Europe or the U.S. Most aspirin is now made in China.
Many over-the-counter medications as well as prescription drugs now come from manufacturers in China, India or other parts of Asia. If country of origin labeling is important for clothing and food, why wouldn’t it be even more critical for medicine?

“If it comes from Communist China...it’s crap”
I agree. Problem is, almost everything does now a days. It’s very difficult to get away from chinese mfg products and a lot of what they produce is low quality CRAP.
Also, we lost one of our cats a few years ago due to IAMS pet food using a “filler” ingredient that was supplied by of course a chinese company. We haven’t purchased IAMS since but these pet food companies are all mixed together, it’s hard to tell who is who. The name on the pet food can means nothing, you need to know who the parent company is. Ive heard a lot of people make there own pet food, sounds like a pain but it gives the pet owner some peace of mind anyway.
china IS CRAP!
