Stimulus? U.S. to buy Chinese condoms, ending Alabama jobs

Call it a condom conundrum.
At a time when the federal government is spending billions of stimulus
dollars to stem the tide of U.S. layoffs, should that same government
put even more Americans out of work by buying cheaper foreign products?
In this case, Chinese condoms.
That's the dilemma for the folks at the U.S. Agency for International
Development, which has distributed an estimated 10 billion U.S.-made
AIDS-preventing condoms in poor countries around the world.
But not anymore.
In a move expected to cost 300 American jobs, the government is
switching to cheaper off-shore condoms, including some made in China.
The switch comes despite implied assurances over the years that the
agency would continue to buy American whenever possible.

The "back" story here is that Democrats couldn't wear American
condoms, the American condoms were too large, so now they're ending
their shame and buying little Chink weeny condoms....

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!
