16. The official U.S. Government position is that
Wal-Mart's prices are no lower than anyone else's when
compared to a typical families weekly purchases. That's
the view of the statisticians at the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics (BLS) responsible for calculating the Consumer
Price Index (CPI).
Not to mention that the U.S. Government doesn't have "official positions" on
the prices of retailers compared to others. And for anyone who ships at
Walmart and other stores, it's very obvious that you save a TON of money at
Walmart, especially on food. Items that cost $1.49 at my local supermarket
cost $0.44 at Walmart.
The fact that they carry name brands, the same brands AND models as other
retailers shows the falsehood of the claim that Walmart's products mostly come
from China. They come from the same place as every other retailer, some from
China, some from other places.
And so they are successful and make money, isn't that the objective of every
person who goes to work every day? Shame on you all for wanting to make money.
Give me a break folks!
