Wal Mart used to be all made in America. They didn't start buying outside stuff until after Mr. Walton died. We're on our third generation of Waltons to "own" the company. It's now run by a board of directors. To be perfectly honest, I haven't heard a whole lot about major manufacturers (other than the big 3 car makers) having problems like that. It's been retail stores that were on the way out anyway and banks. If you think about it, shouldn't we let this happen to a certain extent? Every time something gets to big to sustain itself nature makes it shrink in some way. Just a thought.
