Wal-Mart Rules!

Wal-Mart expands $4 prescription drug sale


BENTONVILLE, Ark., Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc. began selling its $4 generic prescription program Thursday in 11 more states and added 17 medicines to the program.

Why does the Left despise Wal-Mart so? Perhaps because Wal-Mart can actually DELIVER what the Econoramus (thanks Gary!) Left cannot: Low cost products -- now including prescription drugs -- quality service and JOBS!

Oh, they're not the jobs the Left respects: hack lawyers, useless professors -- particularly in Economics -- and Hollywood stars. But they are jobs people at the bottom rung -- those the Left proclaims such concern for -- want. Apparently, these trailer-dwellers don't read enough Krugman.

Microsoft was the villain of the 1990's, even as it drove the economy that the Clintons -- neither of whom have a productive bone in their lumpy bodies -- took credit for.

Wal-Mart is the new black-hatted bad guy for those who have no clue as to how our economy works.
