nonsense. Sam Walton bought made in the USA for many years and as long as he could compete continue doing so. finally got too expensive to make it in the USA with union labor, health benefit costs, etc. that he had to outsource to compete.

lol who was walmart competing with? the mom and pops than ran out of business?

walmart moved to china to increase profits. GM nickeled and dimed suppliers to make a profit

Walmart just did what all the big box store did, and the mom and pop's got driven out of business. You don't want to pay 35 bucks for a shovel when you can get it at a big box for 30, right? Made in American means nothing to 99% of folks, they just want the cheapest price, period. Thus the rise of China. Unions like the supermarket unions for the most part have been busted by the WalMarts, Targets, Amazon, etc. Too many cheaper choices now.
