Right about now, people across our fifty states and other odd geographic possessions are consumed by what could be known only as back-to-school fever. In the old days, before our economy tanked and people stopped shopping, they would just go into a shopping mall any time they wanted and buy stuff until they maxed out their American Express (AXP), Visa (V), or MasterCard (MA) credit cards.
|
But lately people really need a good reason to march back into their local Best Buy, (BBY), Staples (SPLS), or Tractor Supply (TSCO) and spend money. What better reason than the educational advancement of their kids?
This is precisely why retailers stocked their stores to the ceilings with back-to-school items. Right now may be the precise time that the 90% of Americans still working will free up their wallets, purses, and formerly hidden Swiss bank accounts – operated by United Bank of Switzerland (UBS) - to bring sorely needed life back into this economy. But we all need to buy more than pencils, pens, backpacks, and Swine Flu vaccines to get this economy humming again and I have a handy shopping list you can use when you go out on your own personal back-to-school shopping spree. |
