So why is it that now, it's hard to find anything there that is actually made in this country. Are they just a bunch of money hungry bastards who care nothing about this country?

I guess Walmart has the same problem as concerned consumers who try to buy American made whenever possible.
there is a dwindling list of available products! American companies are using cheap foreign labor to cut costs of production. Even they won't make it in America!
Example: One brand I would buy at Walmart was Jerzees. Made in America. I bought a sweat shirt last week. The label "Made in Mexico" Walmart is not the only corporation selling out America.
The consumer doesn't have much choice anymore. American made is just too scarce. Congress will figure out this is not good about 10 years from now and start trying to patch it up......but it will be too late.
Until then, Americans will support child labor, poor working conditions and substandard wages for everyone in the world EXCEPT us.....we want everyone to be middle class at the very least no matter what their work habits are, no matter what education level they achieve.

They dont care about the struggling peopel that need lay away to be opened. Yesterday was the last day to put things on lay away for any thing. They are saying that people dont do lay away any more . people are giving gift cards ans things like that. That may be true for some people but not me. They say they care about family. no they dont.

Actually Walmart provides a great service to this country by providing poor people like me with a wide range of quality goods at great prices. I shop there weekly.
I really don't understand the Left-wing view on manufacturing and outsourcing jobs. People in other countries have to eat too. Don't you people care about them?

Yes. But what the heck, as a taxpayer you already pay their employees' health insurance, so why not get the low prices. That's the logic. Also I know a lot of people who like cheap crap because when it breaks, then they get to go shopping again. A few of us do boycott them for supporting the slave labor and pollution in China.
