    US government switching to Chinese condoms, costing 300 us jobs.

     

    USAID, the US government agency that distributes millions of condoms worldwide to fight AIDS, has decided to switch the source of it's consoms from ALATECH a US company, to three foreign manufacturers in China, Korea and Malaysia.

     

    If we're going to spend a TRILLION dollars to stimulate our economy and create or avoid losing 4 million jobs, wouldn't this be a good place to start?

     

    According to the below article in the Guardian (UK), the chinese condoms are inferior quality but cheaper. Seems like a bad way to go about reducing the spread ofAIDS and a horrible decision in light of our current unemployment crisis.
