Michael Snyder:  Should the federal government be spending billions of dollars to pump up Wal-Mart’s profits?  I know that question sounds really bizarre, but unfortunately this is essentially what is happening.  Because Wal-Mart does not pay them enough money, hundreds of thousands of Wal-Mart employees enroll in Medicaid, food stamps and other social welfare programs.  Even though Wal-Mart makes enormous profits, they refuse to properly take care of their employees so the federal government has to do it.  And of course this is not just a Wal-Mart problem.  There are hundreds of other major corporations doing exactly the same thing.  And they will keep on doing it as long as they can because relying on the federal government to take care of their employees allows them to make much larger profits.  This gives these companies an enormous competitive advantage and it distorts the marketplace.  If you love the free enterprise system, you should be aghast at this.  Our big corporations have become the biggest “welfare queens” of all, and Wal-Mart is near the top of that list.   Continue reading “The US Government Spends 2.6 Billion To Pump Up Wal-Marts Profits”

Thousands of illegals are pouring into Texas in a new border surge, following President Obama’s executive mass amnesty and refusal to deport. It was as predictable as the sunrise — and raises new questions.

Back in late September, Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking with his counterparts from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico, warned that the pause in the border surge of families and unaccompanied minors, then some 50,000 or so in each category for the year, was temporary. “We have to use this time to put in place more efforts, greater efforts to get at the root cause of this, because we know that those numbers may rise again,” Kerry said.   Continue reading “A New Border Surge, A New Normal?”

The NYPD set up SWAT teams at two Bedford-Stuyvesant police precincts Tuesday night — after a confidential informant told cops about overhearing a gang plot to “shoot it out” at the station houses.

Four Emergency Services Unit officers, outfitted with helmets and assault weapons, were stationed at the 79th precinct. Another two were at the 81st.

The beefed up security was prompted by a confidential informant, who told cops of overhearing a member of the Baltimore-based Black Guerrilla Family talking with fellow gang members about plans to “shoot it out with police” at the two precincts, law enforcement sources told The Post.   Continue reading “Gang members threaten to shoot up NYPD station house”
