And you must understand this came from CBS LOS ANGELES!!!

“.... the Obama depression continues to explode”..
WOW - the truth!
Something is up, I can feel it. Both CBS and AP trashing Obama in one day? They are surely doing someone’s bidding, and it sure ain’t ours.
How long until that knock on the Oval Office door and somebody saying “Hey, Barry, Coach Clinton wants to see you. Bring your playbook”.
Not to mention plunging sales at dollar stores ain’t gonna make the ChiComs very happy.
I took the contrarian position and was about beat-up when I said I though it was bunk...most didn't think so.
Meanwhile garage and yard sales are BOOMING. More value for Americans and none for greedy DC Rats.
And the definition of insanity is? And the definition of insanity is? And the definition of insanity is? And the definition of insanity is? ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go read the comments. Vast majority of them are ripping nobama a new one. I’m seeing this more and more. Smile :)
Obama Depression
P.S. You ain't seen nothing yet!!!
As long as we are going down memory lane... First Grade - could actually walk across the street from school... to the local ‘drive in’ restaurant... Order a large frosty root beer fresh out of the keg and a foot long hot dog with mustard & chilli sauce - price = 25 cents.
I know I love Dollar Tree! lots of useful stuff, and the stores are well-maintained. It also doesnt hurt that they actually sell things for a dollar, unlike Family Dollar.
Funny how it is so bad that people cant even afford that.
WSJ was the originator of this piece.
It’s a very telling indicator, I believe, unclouded by government corrections and obfuscations.
People aren’t moving up from dollar stores back to WM and Target.
They’re actually spending less than two yrs ago.
Back when I saw the economy heading south, I thought about investing in stocks in a few publically traded dollar stores. Sounded like a good idea.
I was busy, broke or whatever. So I didn’t.
Anyone that knows me will tell you I can crater any company or investment opportunity if I lay hands on it. If I buy one stock...the compamy is doomed. It’s just the way it is.
I am so happy I don’t feel any guilt. Not my fault!!
If you would like future protections for your investment options...for a nominal fee, I will stay away from these companies. Just e-mail me a at www. berdie@blahblahblah.
On a serious note, I miss the 5 & Dimes that died with Walmart and the dollar stores.
I blame coupon clippers.
I was absolutely stunned to see the term “Obama Depression” spill from the headline and text of this story. Some folks at CBS are going to have their heads handed to them for dissing “The Won.”
I know where the money is, if a person has a decent sized lot on a high traffic motorway all you need to do is advertise that space can be rented per day for anyone who wants to hold a yard sale.
Where I live we have such a place, extremely high traffic volumn with plenty of parking and people come there 7 days a week to set up anything for sale, almost but not quite a flea market.
Some people are even advertising that they will pick up stuff from a persons home and then hold an off the highway yard sale for a commission or percentage of the sales.
Americana are not stupid, and when the times get tough people get creative.
And yet we will still give Obama the finger.
