This is what a free market looks like (NOT!)

From Alternet:

Wal-mart Subsidy Watch
is new website that came online today to track the millions in
corporate welfare that the notorious chain store sucks up each year --
subsidies that help the store that's done so much to downgrade what it
means to be an American worker continue to reap healthy profits while
keeping its everyday low prices low.

On an unseasonably, uncomfortably, unnaturally warm day in mid-October I sit here trying not to think about global warming. But it's difficult. Is this fear going to pass away like the other fears I remember - nuclear war, overpopulation leading to mass starvation, the hole in the ozone layer, acid rain? Well, those problems haven't gone away exactly. The new one just seems bigger than all the rest.
