Besides, With the way walmart gives the customer what they want it would spell trouble for the other banks. With the end of the free market and one more step to being the USSA giving walmart a bank charter doesnt fit into the plan well.

A local wal-mart has begun colocation with a bank called "Evergreen Bank" so we know that their desire for banking powers is definitely there. Some of you older people may remember the very old Sears model. They called it "From socks to stocks" and it involved kiosks from then-Sears subsidiaries Coldwell Banker, Dean Witter, and Allstate Insurance all housed within the same store.
 
Give McDonald's a bank charter. They would make it much easier to get loans, and the staff at MacDonald's are really fast and efficient...

Imagine - drive through loans ... wow - you could make TONS of money... consumption would skyrocket!
If anything - McD could just increase the prices on their burgers worldwide - I mean to "socialize" a little.
Nothing like a little vampiric cancerous bloodsuckling off of the rest of the world...
