In These Hard Economic Times Inexpensive Is A Good Thing

Local Wal-Mart Stores are everywhere.

In these Hard Economic Times, with America's domestic economy in tatters and over 30 million unemployed citizens, "Inexpensive" has become a good thing; and "Free" is even better! As the reality of three consecutive years of Economic Contraction begins to sink in, even the most previously optimistic of Americans are now being highly selective in how they are largely spending their money. Of course, this is only to be expected, when our ineffectual political leaders [honestly] believe that: "A $15.00 per hour job at Wal-Mart," should honestly suffice for most of us....

Let's face it, either: Wal-Mart has a very large shortage of Store Managers nationwide, or our political leaders are grossly out of touch with our hometown American reality! Although I can't speak for every area of America, personally, but: Cashiers, Stock Clerks, and [even] Department Supervisors - in South Carolina - fall significantly short of this often quoted hourly figure. Meanwhile, The News Media - which continually repeats it, without properly calling it into question - is apparently just as ill-informed as their political buddies in Washington! What's up with that, anyway? Aren't they supposed to be checking the actual facts, rather than ignorantly repeating them like uninformed propagandist puppets?
