    Wal-Mart is a great organization. I saw the CEO of Wal-Mart speak on TV, and he made sense.

    Well I do not know where your information has come from but since I deliver and pickup for WalMart on a regular basis I can assure you that the following are made here in the US

    Thier shopping carts, mustard, drink mixes, batteries, meat, pop, chips. All of those branded Sams Choice or Best Value of the listed items are made in the USA and shipped via US trucking companies.

    What the shame is when you buy a USA made item only to find out that the final assembly is US and everything else is made outside the US.

    Just who are they generating the wealth for or to? Maybe mindless employees that stand up at their little employee rally pep talks and buy into the bull. Let them become injured on the job and see just how Walmart supports them.
