This is one thing that really surprises me. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary they will stick with their tired old arguments.

And I love their "arguments". "I can't find anything in WalMart that's made in America". "We don't make anything in America anymore" That's not even an argument. More like a rant or whine.

The first is a classic. The "we don't make anything in America anymore" is the kind of whining I expect from liberals who are totally ignorant of anything to do with the private sector, not conservatives. I laugh at their feeble attempts to explain away your Dept. of Commerce graph indicating robust manufacturing growth since the 60's.

My favorite argument is that "more than 70% of Wal Mart's sku's are made in China" and all those items generate less than 8% of their gross revenue. The lack of math skills can leave one weak.
