Obama and his effort to save American jobs
Stimulus: Obama Stiffs Alabama Condoms For Cheap Chinese Knockoffs
The Obama administration has decided to buy cheap Chinese condoms instead of the U.S. made products it had been distributing for its efforts to spread condoms around the world by the U.S.
Agency for International Development. So much for Obama’s “Buy American” promise.
Condom makers in Alabama will
likely lose this business and perhaps as many as 300 American jobs. USAID plans to stimulate new contracts with a South Korean condom manufacturer and a Chinese company instead of Alatech, the Alabama manufacturer.
So, while Obama talks about American stimulus, USAID is deflating one American company in favor of causing foreign stocks to rise, screwing the economy in Alabama at least for Alatech and its 300 employees.
Isn’t it great that we have a president like Obama so willing to give our economy the injection it needs?
