If you want a target...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh but wait, they are big business!  We can't attack them, they trickle jobs and money down to the rest of us.

How will that create jobs?  People are saving more these days, so it's not going to push them back into the malls and stores.

Of course that's not what they really intended anyway so it's no surprise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm not to hot about the stimulus package, but at least they are going along the lines of something that has some semblence of working.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Adrienne</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 02 Feb 2009 09:43:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Take and Bake Wednesday</title><link>(u'http://thelearningcurve.blogspot.com/2009/02/take-and-bake-wednesday.html',%205847289L)#comment-5847289</link><description>&lt;p&gt;First of all...good luck!
