Let Wal-Mart bail out Wall Street. Better yet . . . let them run the damn Government.
What a great idea to let Walmert run the country.
ReplyDeleteWalmart has proven it's worth,how to run a business and employ a lot of people.
We have 6 Walmarts here ,all are super-stores, we also have a Sam's Club, which is good for small business.
Our Walmarts have better cuts of meats and better buys on groceries.
One last thing their employers are very friendly and helpful.
Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy.
