    Hey I control the interest rate. I did put the oil to $147, then $40,
    not $200 -it was a choice I made.

    Try one of the largest chains in US who doesn't outsource to India and all firms still do like HEB and Wal-Mart as far as paying their upper exectives who often work 24/7 much more than hourly staff with little upper MBA type education/experience/ innovation/creativity /responsibilty and whose job is not at rosk as is upper managmement whose job is at risk when their immediate supervisor gets promoted/quits and brings in his/her own team of upper executives

    While all wal-mart type chains aren't building factories abroad, many are outsourcing quite a few jobs! Heb grocery in texas even outsources some of its jobs! They are hekpdesk/tech type jobs but jobs all the same! They are sending american jobs out of america and then wonder why their sales may not be what they want them to be! Not only are they eliminating american income they are eliminating american spending! Those employees from india dont spend their salaries in heb stores! Heb does this for the same reasons other companies do: to fatten their bottom lines so that the executives make 1000 times what their hourly employees make! So in essence wal-mart isnt the only "evil-doer" as far as business are concerned! Also tell me where the average american can buy american made clothes and actually afford them????? Lastly the wal0mart near me is a more upscale store and the shopping experience is great! We've had positive experience with their perishable departments including the meat market! The biggest plus fir us is the fact that when you check out they dont try to shove crap down your throat like they do at HEB!

    Our experiments with Wal-Mart meats have been poor. Packaged food items are passable. In general, we've found we can do about as well on the price vs. quality equation at several Florida chains, notably ublix and SweetBay, as at Wal-Mart, and they give us a more pleasant shopping experience.
