My father-in-law relayed something he heard Biden saying on the radio over the weekend.

* Wal-Mart shifts purchasing to China. American manufacturing jobs lost.

* Wal-Mart prices small, local businesses out of the market. American retail jobs (and ownership) lost.

* Wal-Mart pays employees sub-poverty wages.

In addition to the jobs lost, the American taxpayer is now subsidising this series of events through unemployment for the laid off workers, and food stamps for the ones "lucky" enough to get hired by Wal-Mart.
