  2. Um. There’s still high tariffs on imports. Of course prices are going up.

  3. Well yea, the tariffs still increased ( just not to 145% ), and Wal-Mart isn’t going to sacrifice profits.

  4. Hmmm… Kinda makes you wonder if a soulless corporation would raise prices just to ensure quarterly profits don’t take a hit, even possibly over-inflating the supposed impacts of the world economic climate in order to take full advantage of the situation, so the executives of the corporation can buy that second $100million yacht for their daughter’s sweet 16 this year.
