Digital Projector only $75 at Wal Mart online!
zelony:
I ordered one as a "Toy" for my daughter. I will let you know if it as bad as they say. Either way, it was only $75.
DaOld Man:
You know there was a time at Walmart when "Made in America" really meant something.
Now it seems the only phrase they are interested in is "Cheap in America".
Sad, very sad. Sam is turning in his grave.
FrizzleFried:
The pathetically sad thing is that if there was a store that advertised their products were ALL made in America, I'd buy from that store even if it meant me walking out the door with a 10-20% higher bill.
I spend more at the mom-n-pop convenience store across from the Jacksons corporate store because I believe in "mom-n-pop"... I'd be HAPPY to cough up a few extra bucks to shop at an "ALL AMERICAN" store for sure.
Walmart was almost there at one time...then Sam died and the store went to hell.

The problem with that concept is that it wouldn't be 10-20%... it would be 100-200%. I go way out of my way to shop at the local independent stores in my town but damn if it doesn't get more difficult every year. Short hours, low selections, teenage employees that won't do more than ring you up and toss your change onto the counter. It's hard to keep shopping at a little hardware store that rarely has all 5 items you need that day when there is a Lowe's 10 minutes away.

True...but I'd rather support a store that sold "Made in America", not in China, regardless of who sells it. People will have jobs either way, we just need to promote factory jobs to Americans now.
