I guess I could point out it was the president from Little Rock, a
couple miles from Bentonville, who signed the trade deals that took
Walmart from being a small regional store to being the biggest
retailer in the world ... selling chinese crap.

Clinton was all about selling to the Chinese. That's how they got the
technology to shoot down that satellite? It was our technology and they
wanted to rub it in our face that they had it after Alemeda incident
with the Hard Drives...

Think of how much money Wal Mart has added to the U.S. Jobs, money,
taxes, etc. They are a big part of our economy, but fools think that all
the money goes to China!

Walmart's profits came at the expense of the small mom and pop stores
they displace so, at best it was a zero sum game. The reality is it
was worse. Those "savings" come at the cost of other American
businesses.

Couldn't compete, evolve or die. Walmart started that way but evolved.

Result is 100's of millions live better having more stuff they want for
less money.

McDonald's did the same to burger joints. Kentucky fried did it to
chicken joints. So did Exxon and other big companies. Even Miller and
Budweiser. Don't see local businesses making beer like they used too.

So your point?
