What shopping at Walmart really costs

Walmart wages are so low that many of its workers rely on food stamps and other government aid programs to fulfill their basic needs, a reality that could cost taxpayers as much as $900,000 at just one Walmart Supercenter in Wisconsin, according to a study released by Congressional Democrats on Thursday.

"When low wages leave Walmart workers unable to afford the necessities of life, taxpayers pick up the tab," the report says.
