Discussion for article #225610
You know, in school we were taught that during the Depression, shantytowns were called āHoovervillesā, and newspapers used to cover you when you slept on the streets were āHoover Blanketsā. Because of course, Hoover made what was bad, worse.
Following that train of thought, I suggest that Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General and the like should be renamed DubyaMarts.
Two-Dollar Tree

OK, then, truth in packagingā¦ call them ā$9 Billion Dollar Treeā stores, just for reference.
and as an edit, financing something with debt has always seemed like double backwards sort of BS somehow, call me old fashionedā¦
Family Dollar is not a dollar store. Itās a discount store. I know libāruls aināt supposed to be caught dayed in these here places, and thereās no stupid quite like City Slicker Stupid but there you are http://www.thestreet.com/story/12822470/1/dollar-general-beats-family-dollar-and-dollar-tree-put-together.html
Family Dollar sold because Dollar General was eating their lunch, and Carl Icahn bought 9% of 'em. Dollar Tree bought because they are stoopid.
Crap for cheap.
So will it be āFamily Dollar Treeā now?
