How does it feel to know that this is what you voted for, Democrats? Your vote, your choice, your responsibility.
I hope your entitlements are worth the thousands of jobs lost.
This is just the start. This is the result of your vote. You can be butthurt about the truth all you want (Divine and Lygarrrrr) but this is on you. I am taking it upon myself to inform you of the consequences of your choice. Every day.
You can no longer blame others.

hmm that is funny they are laying off workers so they can keep multimillions of dollars in profit hmmm, funny that they would rather keep their mass wealth the keep people employed. All of these companies do not need to cut jobs to still make profit, it is just they would not make as much and be able to give out millions in wages and bonuses to their top level employees. Fact of the matter is the companies are greedy for money and are just trying to "cry wolf" by cutting jobs. They in the end do not care about the people that work for them, just their bottom line. So while the top level executives continue to make more then 250K a year no matter what the people who make 50K a year are hurt because of their greed. Make no mistake this has nothing to do with Obama being elected, but everything to do with runaway capitalism (although calling it capitalism is an insult to true capitalism) and greed. Perhaps you should find out more information and read for a variety of sources from all sides to see where the root cause in all of these cut backs are coming from...i.e. excessive wealth, greed, power.
