Wal-Mart’s decision to offer generic drugs for $4 a prescription has the corporation’s implacable enemies confused. Here you have Wal-Mart (evil) undercutting drug company profits (evil) to help the poor (good) pay for their prescriptions (good), at the same time driving the local mom-and-pop pharmacies (good) out of business (evil). My guess is the political spinmeisters will continue attending their anti-Wal-Mart protests but stop to pick up their prescriptions on the way home.
