Have never been in a Dollar store and only ever in a Walmart once - the only people smiling were the two old geezers greeting folks at the main doors.

The company whose shirts I always bought back in Canada had a motto - No one ever regretted buying quality - and their shirts definitely were. Mostly you get what you pay for. I would never buy cheap tools they will bite you sooner or later.

Thanks Bill Clinton, and another reason to avoid Billary.

Wait, a staunch Republican like yourself is against the free market plank in the party platform? How bizarre.

The only time free trade is fine is when you hold the trade advantage.

Free trade is fine if it's free on both ends, or there needs to be a tariff as an equalizer.
