It's not a problem either. Oh noes, lower costs of production! More efficient business practices!

If by lower costs of production you mean firing a ton of people and lowering salaries so that real wages end up going down even though prices drop then yeah. And it's a problem.

A problem for who? Not me! A lot more people *shop* at wal-mart than work there (or for their suppliers).

When in doubt, change the argument! The "problem" is not the low prices. It is that the prices get jacked up to higher levels once the competing firm exits the market.
For example, take a look at the cost of flying in and out of certain airports that the airline has a near monopoly on (Cincinnati for example). Competitors come in, Delta drops the price to next to nothing, competitors leave, Delta jacks price right back up.
Someone wanted an example- here is one.
Of course, this, like everything, will be blamed on government interference by you.
