Bush Economy Is One Big Lump Of Coal For Retailers
I thought Republicans were supposed to be good for business.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/25/AR2007122501072.html?hpid=topnews
"A surge in spending over the weekend may not have been enough to
rescue Target, Sears Holdings and Macy's from the slowest holiday
spending season in five years."
A five year low!
Now why would that be?
"Gasoline at $3 a gallon and rising food prices have discouraged
shoppers from spending during November and December, which account for
20 percent of retailers' annual revenue, according to the National
Retail Federation in Washington."
That's weird.
Wasn't (invading) liberating Iraq supposed to bring oil prices down?

Oh well, there's just got to be some good news somewhere in there.
"Luxury goods, excluding jewelry, rose 7.1 percent from the comparable
period last year, and footwear sales increased 6 percent."
Bam!
Really expensive ***** and shoes are up.
At least those Bush tax cuts were good for Manolo.
The Bushbots' predictable reaction to this---they blame the liberal
media (this whine is typical).
