JUST ADMIT IT'S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?



Walmart is run very well, but early on it also benefited from some
rather odd tax deals in its home state of Arkansas. Walmart was
expanding during a recession when Target and Venture were closing
stores. You could ask Bill Clinton about that if you see him, since much
of this happened when he was governor.



As to government programs being "broke",,,, the point of them is not to
turn a profit, or even to attempt to break-even, financially. They're
supposed to lose money. The government doesn't 'work' for money; it's
just pieces of paper and they can always print more.

Inflation is detrimental to personal savings--but then, many of the
interests of the government and the individual are contrary, and not
reconcilable.
