How Your Toilet Paper Affects The Economy

Whatever the government does to direct the economy and where U.S. Dollars are spent, much depends on what the American consumer wants to spend money on. A recent report indicates the consumer is more interested in comfort than economy when it comes to such things as … well toilet paper.


On A Roll

Uncle Sam’s effort to balance the budget
Is such a hard job it’s really not funny.
So much depends on consumers like us
And how we decide to budget our money.


Among all the products in which we invest,
As we each go about our shopping caper,
Looking for ways of staying a-head,
Are such household products - as toilet paper.


Yes, we want to save money and pull in the belt
And spend fewer dollars as long as we got ‘em;
So we search high and low to save every dime
And get to the checkout before we hit bottom.
