Two pieces of under the radar news today ... that are very much related to (dare I say emblematic of) what is still wrong in the economy.
1. The USDA today announced that there were a record 23,087,886 households (47,772,108 individuals) on food stamps in January.http://www.zerohedge.com/...
2. Despite the DOW and the stock markets getting hit today, there was one star performer that was up for almost the whole day and in the process touched a new all time high stock price ($79.28)... yes ... WalMart.
Is it just me that sees the connection, or asks the question ... How can this be?
