Despite concerns about the economy and inflation, most Americans with school age children plan to spend more money getting them ready for school than they did a year ago.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 52% of Americans who have children of elementary and secondary school age plan on spending more this year on school clothing and back-to-school supplies than they did a year ago. That compares to 40% at this time last year.
Twenty-nine percent think they will spend less this year, while 18% plan to spend about the same amount as they did a year ago.
