    I'm no fan of trade wars.

    Your sanctions hurt yourself, maybe more than those you put them on.

    I find it odd that you ignore the money that Walmart contributes to paying down what would otherwise be welfare.

    It's insane to sanction the Chinese market unless you provide affordable products made here at home for low income shoppers...school supplies, etc. When I first visited China Levi blue jeans were worth a fortune there.....now they cost a fortune here and jeans are cheaper there. Something wrong with that picture. I would hope Trump has a plan but the first investment in the rustbelt was made by a Chinese billionaire who started a glass factory in a steel plant after Trump was elected adding thousands of jobs for the locals.....when Trump's company starts investing in our economy, I'll consider it progress. So far Trump targets elite pocketbooks for his goods...not sure he knows what Walmart is.

    And I don't find it odd at all that you would blame government instead of Corporations for raping us left and right. Walmart is one of those corporations that are raping us.

    Libertarian logic.

    It's a free country. Go work at Walgreens and don't buy from Walmart.

    They don't hold a gun to anyone's head.

    How did she pay for this article? Campbell Brown is a reasonably respectable journalist.

    The Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation has provided philanthropic support to The 74, which I co-founded. I sit on the board of directors of the American Federation for Children, which Betsy DeVos chaired before her nomination. The American Federation for Children also sponsored The 74’s 2015 New Hampshire education summit.​

    Brown could have said nothing.

    Her endorsement is sincere, she's known the woman for years.

    DeVos pays her salary. You really think this woman is going to say something about her that wasn't a glowing endorsement?

    It's like someone on the Clinton Foundation board saying that Hillary would have been the greatest president ever.

    I think she wouldn't take the money in the first place.

    What did she say that is untrue?

    Nothing.

    So, you vouch for her sincerity, her ethics, and her truthfulness. How well do you know this person?

    DeVos was chairman. You really think DeVos wouldn't agree to take her own money?

    Yes, it clearly says it in the article from the foundation she funded says about her.
