Where does America shop...especially late at night?

You guessed it - Wal-Mart! Five miles from the Wanch, open 24 hours, and carries all the essentials. We frequently stop in late at night after I pick-up K6 from work at the nearby McDonalds restaurant. Very convenient, but...

...I have mixed emotions about Wal-Mart, McDonald's, and American industry. Maybe you do as well?

I seem to vaguely remember long ago when Wal-Mart prided itself on selling American made products...now most items are foreign made. Very sad statement on America's loss of manufacturing capability.

What happened?

I blame both the Government for meddling in labor and tax laws (not to mention tinkering with education and social fabric), and corporate leaders (and stock holders) for choosing profit over national pride. Our Nation is rapidly losing our craftsmanship skills, our jobs, and our manufacturing might to 3rd world countries with corrupt governments, cheap labor, poor sanitation, no taxes, and no environmental controls. That is my view.

We need to regain our abilities and strengths by rediscovering the right balance between Capitalism and Free Enterprise versus Government interference. Communism and Socialism are not the answer.

I am sure many of you have some opinions of your own...but who is correct? WE THE PEOPLE had best figure it out and then get back on the same wave length together before America loses its greatness and becomes a 3rd world nation.

Yes, my Wanch blog occasionally gets hijacked by my political musings. Please bear with me patiently as I love America. Having travelled around the world and studied history, government, and geography, I am convinced it is the greatest country on the planet. As the brilliant negro (his preferred choice of words) radio commentator Ken Hamblin used to say, "If you don't like America, pick a better country!"
