No, if you read the article, it's more American dollars going to the Saudis.

I only shop at sam and walmart once a month. I make a big grocery run for packaged items. Their meat and produce sucks. And you are right about there being a lot of chicom crap in the store. But one interesting point, jeans. Levis and now most wrangles are made south of the border, paricularly their shorts. But walmart faded glory denim shorts are madin the USA. Good quality too. I have one pair. When I do buy wally world I buy American.

Or, more consumers running out of steam.

In the last 10 years, I have maybe shoped at Wal Mart a couple times. No more than 3.

Of that number, in the last three years, I have only been there once, to buy an air conditioner in an emergency situation in a heat wave (I was buying the AC for the benefit of someone else), and that was after having gone out of my way to exhaust all other purchasing options first.

I hope that Wal Mart and Communist China disappear. I always go out of my way to avoid buying anything made in China. If I see small cheap "amde in China" stuff around my house, I try to throw all that stuff away.

The consumers in the U.S. are supporting that regime and all its policies (indirectly) and also giving them the cash to medernize their forces.

If (when) we go toe to toe with China, you can blame a good part of China's strength on people in the U.S.

Boycott China. I'm trying to avoid buying anything from Wal Mart for the rest of my life. I hope they fold. Same deal with all the companies that offer products made in Communist China. With any luck, Wal Mart will fold some day, and if that happens, I will say Good Riddance.

They are pushing RFIDs also. I don't like their strong-arm tactics either. Never have, never will.

I hope that enough Americans boycott Wal Mart for the next 10 straight years to the point where they permanently go out of business.

Wal-Mart carries the same stuff as everyone else.
