Isn’t Walmart a huge importer of Chinese goods?

And they "JUST LOVE" importing the fecal matter laden produce and veggies from Mexico!

Thanks for the link. The comments are great.

About 70% of the company's goods are made in China. By CEO Lee Scott's own admission a couple of months ago at the company's annual meeting, "Last year it was estimated we imported about $18 billion worth of goods from China."

In 2005, WalMart's cost of goods sold was about $233 billion. $18 billion is less than 8%.
