Oh crap! Once the ‘RATS read this, the taxpayers will be buying school clothes for “the children.” This “hope and change” crap is sure knocking the hell out of my wallet. Well, the Marxist pig told “Joe the Plumber” he was going to do this so we really can’t be surprised.
My kids are reusing binders from last year and clothes aren’t even on the radar. Each got one new pair of jeans on sale at Walmart for $10 and they still have shirts left over from summer and some jeans from last year that they haven’t outgrown.
Paper and pencils are about all I’m doing this year. And I intend on buying a huge stack of both while they are like a dime a pack or something and use it all year long.
Costco jeans are a lot less than $29. Where is this mom shopping? Or...Try Goodwill. Jeans there will be 4 to 5 dollars.
What our family saved in school clothes more than paid for curriculum and other expenses.
Christmas is going to be rough if you’re a retailer.
Wait till you hear the details about the great Christmas Present Bailout of 09’...
Why with Nationalized health scare care, this will ease the minds of the sheeple. Who cares if they aren't working. Now, they'll have Obama care. Isn't this the “hope” and “change” they wanted? Unemployed with health care!
Hey, go to Walmart and $ave more!
Maybe, Obama should run a clothing or back to school charity. Donate your old books, crayons, pens, pencils, erasers, backpacks, lunch boxes to the government and he'll give you $$$$. It's like the cash for clunkers things Obama is having trouble financing but heck he's got oodles of money for the nationalized health scare stuff. Yes, the public has lots of confidence in Zero!
You want to bet mother has her hair done weekly and her nails done every couple of weeks? I bet she owns a few pair of 14K gold earrings she could sell too.
I’m just saying.
I don’t have much sympathy for people in these stories. Maybe they are true and maybe they aren’t. I just don’t trust the media.
I have met too many parents who ‘can’t afford’ this and that but they seem to always have the latest in everything (even when they don’t pay their bills).
I suppose I’m am getting harden in my old age. /s
The Massachusetts sales tax increase (also known as the New Hampshire Retail Stimulation Act) kicks in today, August first. That is just in time to further suppress business in MA and push shoppers over the northern border[1].
Anyone who is smart enough to run against incumbents on a “repeal” platform will probably be a shoe-in for state office. With luck this will be Coupe Deval’s waterloo.
