Indeed, "two-thirds of Walmart U.S.’ total product spend was on items made, grown or assembled in the United States" so if 33% is on stuff "grown" in the US, and 2% is on stuff "made" in the US that means that the remaining 65% is on stuff "made" in other countries - right?


And ask the folks over at Rubbermaid exactly how beneficial that Wal*Mart "sourcing is.


Please get back to us when Wal*Mart raises its prices and tell us how this is such a "Good Thing" because it increased the US annual GNP. Smh

Have you actually dealt with any of these companies you reference ?  

One doesn't have to have "dealt with" Rubbermaid to know the history of what happened to it when Wal*Mart announced that it was cutting what it was prepared to pay for its products (when Rubbermaid was so dependent on sales to Wal*Mart that it couldn't survive without them).

I guess that you haven't noticed the tariffs that the US has been applying to Canadian products and what those tariffs have done to the US domestic price for those products.

Yes, I know, having a working knowledge of economics and history is a real handicap when discussing economic and/or historical matters with people who don't.
