WalMart is one of China's biggest customers and has been compared by some to the economies of several countries put together.

What makes capitalists successful is Communism. Sweet irony, that.

Now look what I found in the Rabbit Hole:

We learned that is is not a dismal jobs report in the alternate reality of the rabbit hole.

Only 96,000 jobs added.

Almost 4 times that amount stopped looking which created the unemployment rate drop.

Manufacturing down.

Hourly pay down.

Lowest labor force participation rate in 30 years.

June and July revised down.

We are creating less jobs per month than last year to this point.

Conservatives fight minimum wage raises, and here we have a boo-hooing about labor force participation and hourly pay being down. WTF? And I heard Romney talk about closing loopholes (unspecified of course) for the upper crust so that they effectively pay higher taxes. Whoaaaah. Republicans are officially running The Manchurian Candidate.

Wal*Mart's success is a direct consequence of its ability to profitably sell huge quantities of high quality merchandise to ordinary Americans.

Family Dollar Stores hit a 10-year high several weeks ago.  Apple, as just about everyone knows, is sitting at a 30-year high and is poised to go higher.  The list of 52-week highs is long and clara's ideological explanation is totally fact-free.  FAIL.
