Wal-mart announced Tuesday that it is increasing the sourcing of U.S. products by $50 billion over the next 10 years, hoping to boost U.S. manufacturing and jobs. Wal-mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., is the largest retailer and private employer in the U.S. with 4,601 stores and clubs.
In a speech at the National Retail Federation’s annual convention in New York City, Bill Simon, Wal-mart’s U.S. president and CEO, said Wal-mart and Sam’s Club will buy an additional $50 billion in U.S. products over the next decade by increasing what it already buys and helping onshore U.S. production in “high potential areas like textiles, furniture, and higher-end appliances.”

+12Increasing the US made products is nice, but decreasing the wack-jobs that shop there would be better.
Time to return to local merchants.
Then again, I'll be living overseas, so I guess it's kind of a moot point anyway.
"Wal-Mart, fall apart", comes to mind.
Second, they are responsible for putting other smaller and locally owned business' out of business.
Third, it is unorganized and I have trouble finding what I need.
Fourth, when I ask for help finding what I need, none of the employees seem to be able to help me.
Fifth, it's way to crowded.
It ain't happenin'.
