The cost of school supplies has risen up to 24.5% over the past four years, according to the Labor Department. This year, over 30% of parents surveyed say they can't even afford back-to-school shopping this year, but a handful are willing to go into debt to do it. Nearly one-third of parents are willing to take on up to $500 in debt, while more than one-in-six are willing to take on up to $750 in debt just to cover the costs, according to the report.

So did my mom. Only stuff she obtained for free was any music she already knew (she was a music teacher).

Do you have special teacher stores up there? Over the weekend tv was running a piece about a County run store where teachers can shop for classroom supplies for free.

LTC Trent Klug Glad you enjoy it, but still my "adjusted for inflation" dollar goes farther today than when I had double digit interest on my mortgage in the 70s.

The DEOMONIC party has been around for a long time. before 1912, we were on the GOLD system, this is where our founders wanted the Constitution even today states, that NO STATE SHALL ISSUE ANYTHING OTHER THAN GOLD OR SILVER. Because not one founder trusted the federal government with the peoples money! AFTER 1913 FEDRERAL RESERVE ACT came into being, signed into LAW December 13th 1913 by democrat Woodrow WILSON, he was a SON of a BITCH! He had a stroke, but his wife kept him up, as to be full filling his presidential dutys. His wife was just as much of a rascal as HE was kind of like OBIDENS WIFE! HE finaly was PRONOUNCED dead in 1919, thank GOD!

This Financial Delima that OUR nation is in, is NOT by accident. OBAMA made a statement
in his 2008 presidential run, that said WE ARE GOING TO DRAMATICALLY CHANGE THIS NATION, & I feel this a small sample of what OBAMA was talking about. WE don't Accidentally overspend our nations money, ask yourself, WHY would We do that to ourselves???
