Don Beaudreax with an excellent post about an article defending Walmart, explaining why all self-styled "progressives" should be big fans of Walmart. The article includes an especially brutal takedown of those poor confused souls who criticize Walmart because some of their employees are on Medicaid.

Moreover, it's ironic that Wal-Mart's enemies, who are mainly progressives, should even raise this issue. In the 1990s progressives argued loudly for the reform that allowed poor Americans to keep Medicaid benefits even if they had a job. Now that this policy is helping workers at Wal-Mart, progressives shouldn't blame the company. Besides, many progressives favor a national health system. In other words, they attack Wal-Mart for having 5 percent of its workers receive health care courtesy of taxpayers when the policy that they support would increase that share to 100 percent.
