Private industry has a long proud and well deserved history of inefficiency and waste. How else do you explain that our entire economic model relies on shipping jobs overseas to be performed by slave wage labor?

Actually, from a purely economic standpoint (not taking into account poliotical implications) shipping jobs overseas id highly efficient.

Many, many studies have shown that Walmart helps marginal earners stay afloat because their prices are low- and that is because they buy imports. Regardless of what you think of Walmart, they service and fill a need for low cost food, clothes, commodities, etc.
