Borrowed from a poster to one of my favorite websites:

Wally World is the true Amerikan store. You can get your nails
painted, your hair dyed, eat at McDonald's , get your taxes prepared,
complete banking needs, get your eyes examined, shop for hours and
never see anything important, buy guns and ammo, see your neighbor
and
pastor, get your lithium, prozac, zanax and/or zoloft, get your tars
rotated or buy new for that matter, get your oil changed, buy potting
soil and everything under the roof is made in China. Nothing more
says
Amerikan!

The people over on IBM Retiree say the Walmart drug plan is better
than Medicare part D for some commonly used drugs

At Walmart I pay about 35 dollars a month for my medicine. At Walgreens,
I pay $170.00 for the same exact medicine..

Except "Made in China", the govt is guilty of all of the things Harry
lists too.


Reply:
the government is guilty of buy Chinese also. The new Oakland-San
Francisco
Bay bridge is being built with Chinese Steel, Chinese manufactured decking
sections, Chinese made uprights.

So, the gov't is supposed to go with the high bid?

He'd be screaming about how the unions have the bid system wired,
forcing the US taxpayer to pay inflated prices.

Nope. But just stating the government is buying Wal-Mart also. And the
cost may be a lot higher buying from China. Theywere over a year late on
deliveries. We lost all the tax dollars and multipliers from wages spent
here. May end up a lot more costly for maybe a 3% saving on purchases.
