Baloney. The economy may be in the dumps, but the Wal-Mart situation has nothing to do with it. Wal-Mart would have been closing stores anyway, as e-commerce displaces more and more traditional retailing from the market.
If you used Amazon as the barometer of this country's economic performance over the last few years, you'd get a very different story.

but the Wal-Mart situation has nothing to do with it. Wal-Mart I've been very disappointed at how the Wal-Mart story has been incorrectly reported. They are "retooling" those stores, to adapt to changes in buying habits. Even Rush made it sound like 16,000 will be laid off. Some jobs may be cut, but most will transfer to other stores.
I posted it on my alumni forum, just to see who would jump on it like red meat. I wasn't disappointed: the libs could only talk about how evil Wal-mart is.

I agree. WM has plenty of competition on the low end from Dollar General and similar stores.
