The "Dollar Stores" have done quite well this year thanks to the robust Bush economy.
Facts in America today:
Personal savings are at an all time high
Personal debt is at an all time low.
I don't care if the DOW is at 50,000 - if the above statistics exist, the economy is far from great.

What obscure little newspaper did you get this out of? The New York Times is claiming record sales in big ticket items. Didn't George buy you any?

Yes, because the economy is built on the sales of PS3s and Wiis. The economy is kickin ****. If the media would stop playing it down, everybody would realize that it's one of the strongest economies we've ever had. When you start seeing Burger King give out signing bonuses to burger flippers because they need help that bad, you know something is going right.

I'm sure the prices would have been lower if we were using all that Iraqi oil that the liberals SWORE we went to war over. Remember, all the prices went up when the price of the gas to deliver them went op to $3.50 per gallon.
