Ah! At last, someone else who gets it! Nothing in Walmart should cost more than $5 if their prices reflected the cost of manufacturing it and transporting it from China. That's why I will not buy a $60 Tonka truck (now made in China) for my grandsons at Christmas from the Great Wall-Mart. That truck should certainly sell for less than $5....but they are still charging as if that Tonka truck was still made in the USA. The same for all the Barbie doll stuff that used to be made in the USA by Mattel. Give your grandkids a zoo pass to their favorite zoo, or concert tickets, or build them a playscape in their backyard for some much-needed exercise, or if they're older, give them stock in some good now-undervalued US company. Start planning NOW to avoid contributing to the Chinese army that owns the shipping company that transports Walmart's inventory this Christmas. Do you want to be responsible for your grandsons having to fight for their survival when the Chinese decide the time is right to make their move to restore China's former supremacy, just because you wanted to save $10 on a pair of shoes? I think that's what we mean when we patriots say "shopping with conscience."

Well said. I always try to buy American or just do without. Now if I can just get the wife to go along with the program.

Sad to say that Christmas has become nothing more than "Christians buying stuff from Non-Christians".

Yes indeed.
