Is economic stimulus package the answer???

simplyshawn @simplyshawn (650) • United States 24 Nov 08

Does this sound silly???

simplyshawn @simplyshawn (650) • United States 14 Nov 08

Okay this is sad to say, (in my opinion) but my husband and I would rather stay in his hometown, the weekend after thanksgiving, to go out to a movie with a group of friends than drive 3 hrs to visit my family for the day. I would...
