The best policy is to only purchase what you absolutely need, and get away from the American consumer fetish. "Stimulating" the economy through retail purchasing is mostly benefiting the manufacturing industries in other countries, and our own corporate leeches. http://sibob.org/wordpress/

Why would companys hire while we have a president destroying profits? They have the money put back for when the healthcare goes into effect. It's called a tax hike.

if your going to suggest boycotting, could you at least go to the trouble of identifying a few of the companies we should be boycotting?
