...that they wish they had seen some of our merchandise earlier," says Natalie Norris-Howser, a Sears spokeswoman. "People are buying earlier today. Also, customers have grown accustomed to the Christmas-in-July terminology, so we wanted to leverage that." Norris-Howser also pointed to the company's generous layaway offers for bigger-ticket items as an incentive for shoppers to do their holiday buying today...
...that the "downturn forced Labour to dump its tarnished rule" and splurge on public spending is generous, to say the least [June 22]. Gordon Brown spent his years as Chancellor spending beyond his means - even as the country seemed to prosper - and desperately breaking Labour's manifesto promise not to raise tax rates to cover his tracks. The severity of Britain's current recession can surely be partly blamed on years of recklessness and a failure to prepare for the slightest possibility of less sunny days to come.

On Thursday, he said he noticed 17 new HUCTW job postings...
...structured, a tax on the most expensive benefits could bring in hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 10 years, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated. But it would be a politically treacherous move that would not affect only the wealthy. Many of those generous health plans are also part of union contracts - and in many cases were negotiated in lieu of higher wages - which means Obama might have to go back on his campaign promise not to raise taxes on those earning less than $250,000 a year...
