Walmart's Chinese imports are going to get more expensive, too. Chinese workers want more money, transport costs (oil) are increasing, and the yuan is appreciating relative to the dollar.

Walmart's business model (sourcing) will probably need to change.

Yes, inflation will lower the value of the dollar making it more economical to buy American. Inflation is a good thing right now. True those on fixed incomes and loads of non indexed investments will take it on the chin and that’s bad... but survival of the country is at stake.

So will K-Mart-Sears
Atwoods
Dollar Tree
Hobby Lobby
Tractor Supply co
Dollar General
Ace
True Value

And way too many others as they all sell Chinese products.
