I only half agree with you there Sheila C. Yes, Unions can create havoc for companies but like in my case, if it weren't for the Union, I would be without a job!

But I can't afford to shop elsewhere always gives me a chuckle. Usually it's someone been sold the American dream of owning more car and house than the need, with big payments, or someone working non-union. Wait until Walmart has the Post Office!

Any and all 'dissidents' or "enemies of the state" in China are thrown into labor camps called laogai where they are tortured and forced to make products at great cost to their health with no pay; most of this is destined for the United States, and we can count on Walmart - and many other businesses to promote that. So-called 'dissidents can be political, religious, pro democratic and so on. The Chinese Communist gov't is very unstable and could collapse at any moment. Chairman Mao and his cohorts have murdered 80 million Chinese citizens since the communist gov't took over in 1949. I think it's a big mistake to invest in that evil regime.

As I have always been convinced, matters not what your politics are all about, only a dollar really matters. You know a track record that includes deals with Nazi Germany, prior to WWII, and all the other under the table deals with the Villians of the world. So much for Capitalism, no make that "Greed."

Chinese pigs are fed waste water to increase their weight prior to slaughter. Their cows are so full of antibiotics it is impossible to make yogurt from their milk.

The Bush Administration is trying to pass legislation to remove country of origin information from food products. If he succeeds, we will never know where our food is coming from.

I don't like it either that America is not price competitive with China, but who's fault is that? Not China's. Should I be forced to pay more for the same goods and have less money for other things? Have you considered the destructive effects a protectionist trade policy would have on our own economy?

Yes, the Trade Deficit is terribly high at $400 billion, but the National Debt is $9 trillion! So before you blame China and force Americans to spend more money, why not beat up Washington for leading us into bankruptcy. The interest on the debt is the third largest budget category; and, in an odd way, the trade deficit gives foreign countries the dollars to service that debt.

Our own government is a far, far bigger problem than China and for many more reasons than just this issue. "It's the government, stupid!" would be a good campaign slogan.

The last time I EVER walked into a Walmart (and swore never to return), there was a strong smell of chlorine (the first poison gas that was used for chemical warfare in WWI) right at the entrance. There were huge bottles of an antibacterial liquid soap being promoted for schools which listed as active ingredient TRICLOSAN the chlorinated dioxin-like suspected carcinogen.
Their cheap prices come at a high price for human health and the environment

Do yourself and humanity a favor: never shop at Walmart !! (the money you save you'll pay for later with decreased health)

These comments that Horizon dairy is less than "organic" and same-breath mention of China imports is misleading. Horizon is in Boulder, County, Colorado, a place where citizens have famously struggled to do something about the poor quality of US foods (e.g. Celestial Seasonings is founded there too). Obviously, Horizon has to operate "like a factory" to produce so much milk to market--one can't have milk maids chasing cows around the fields. But if they are not using hormones, antibiotics and pesticides like much of the milk industry does, I want to drink that milk. And I can't buy it anywhere else in smalltown PA but the local Wal-Mart. We should protect the distinction 'organic' however, as much as possible. Another point: The USA, not China, is genetically modifying crops. So whose 'organic' is less reliable? Glass houses all around. It is one world and our shopping at Wal-Mart should be informed and critical but not necessarily boycott-minded and hostile to the point of destructive.

I went to Wal-Mart years ago, and shopped for my family. After a while, I noticed nothing I bought there lasted more than six months, and it was all cheap crap.

I have better things to do than to buy cheap stuff that needs to be replaced all the time.

I went back with a friend who was looking for a certain camera. They didn't have it, but tried to switch him to buy a demonstrator at what would be full retail anywhere else locally.

The place was crowded, and rather dingy.

They could have done so much better, but they chose to be cheap in this country. I read they had or have a high end store (s) in other countries, but don't offer quality here, so I'm off them for life, or until they change their tune.

In response to the comment about food being imported into the U.S. from China. I live in China and have no choice but to eat the food raised and grown here. But, I am aware that every body of water in China is highly polluted, by toxic and human waste. Chemical companies dump their waste into rivers, streams and lakes, poisoning everything it touches. This water is growing the veg.'s and feeding the livestock. Monsanto ships every pesticide and insecticide that is banned everywhere else on earth, to China. These are used by the ignorant farmers in abundance. I am aware of all of this and more, the average American doesn't have a clue. So, when he sees "imported from China", even if it says "organic", he doesn't know it is a time bomb waiting to destroy his body, mouthful by mouthful. Every American should think long and hard before they buy "China". Jeanine Smith

Who is the CEO of Walmart - none other than Freemason 33degree Freemason Witch - Hiliary Rodenhurst Clinton from the Bush/Clinton
crime family. Go to Cloak & Dagger for further information on the
dismantling of the US economy by these criminals. BOYCOTT Walmart and buy local organic produce. Go and source the internet for real information on these traitors of the USA. Wake up, they have sold you out to China with stolen money from the US people and stolen money from the Iraqi people. When are you going to impeach these criminals.

Still think Walmart prices are worth the trip? Your going to need deep pockets! This guy hope to prove he picked up a magnificent parasite in underwear brought here from China!
