YELLOW CHIPPEROON
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who lives to shop, because that's all there is to life, really, that's it.... shop... life... the two are one and the same. Family and friends suspect that you might a robot, android, or space alien, because NO ONE can be THAT happy. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time browsing through a long list of dot com websites hoping to buy either looseleaf notebook paper or a three-hole paper punch. Be on the lookout for neighborhood pets, especially belligerent parrots. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter F, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 127343. Your preferred shopping venue is shopping malls. Your special symbol is the asterisk (*).
Is this You?
As a Yellow Chipperoon, you are happy, happy, happy. You enjoy everything about life and about shopping. You love shopping. You love buying. You love spending. You love to compare products and prices. You love the crowds. You love chatting with the store clerks. You love every bit of the buying process. Nothing dissuades you from having a good time shopping, whether you're buying a box of facial tissues or a new house. Does it get any better than spending an afternoon at the shopping mall? No way!
This isn't me! What am I?

As such, the real world is often faced with the lesser of two evils--imperfect markets or imperfect government.

Pumping Up The ECONOMIC GROWTHWe need to pay another visit to Scarcity Stan's Ye Olde Bakery Shoppe and Confectionery Palace. But this is not a social visit, nor is intended for some delectable pastries that will add a few extra pounds to our waistlines. We're here on official economic business. Stan's at wits end. He doesn't know what to do. There's been so much demand for his economic pie, what with society's unlimited wants and needs, that he needs to make it bigger. Our job is to figure out how. While we're doing that, we'll also see how to put our economy on the path to economic growth.
