GOVERNMENT PURCHASES: Expenditures on final goods and services (that is, gross domestic product) undertaken by the government sector. Government purchases are used to operate the government (administrative salaries, etc.) and to provide public goods (national defense, highways, etc.). Government purchases do not include other government spending for transfer payments. These are expenditures on final goods by all three levels of government: federal, state, and local governments. Government purchases are financed by a mix of taxes and borrowing.

ORANGE REBELOON
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who can scrounge together a complete fashion ensemble for the price of a cheeseburger that will make heads turn... turn away in disgust. Family and friends hesitate to broach any controversial topic when you're around for fear of a verbal tongue-lashing. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time calling an endless list of 800 numbers trying to buy either several magazines on computer software or a T-shirt commemorating the second moon landing. Be on the lookout for pencil sharpeners with an attitude. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter J, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 402693. Your preferred shopping venue is flea markets. Your special symbol is the backslash (\).
Is this You?
As an Orange Rebeloon, you are very much the rebel and the contrarian. It is your nature to go against the grain. When everyone else is buying, you sell. When everyone else is selling, you buy. You go against the trends. You disdain fashion. If it's hot, you're not. You would march to your own drummer and dance to your own tune, if doing so wasn't so trite and conventional.
This isn't me! What am I?

The Odds On GAMBLINGI'm sure there's a great philosopher somewhere who once uttered the words, "Life's a contradiction and we're all a bunch of hypocrites." Take me for example. Just this morning I walked by Smilin' Ted's All-Comers Insurance Agency to drop off my annual shoe insurance premium (for protection against blowouts), then made a pit stop at Master Sprocket's convenience store where I plopped down five dollars on five (count 'em, five) Super Luck-O Multi-State Lottery tickets. Within a space of two blocks and twenty minutes I bought $37.56 worth of shoe insurance to avoid risk and then spent another $5 to take on some risk. Am I a walking contradiction, or what?
