Fellow FReepers -- This is designed to serve as a single repository for layoff announcements, stories and other related news pertaining to the future dismantling of our economy due to the re-election of Barack Obama. The goal here is a one-stop source to bolster our argument that Obama's reelection is truly the detriment to our economic well-being.
Then there are the women "concerned about control of their own bodies", or more accurately those who want you to pay because they don't control their bodies.
Until the government runs out of money because there is no one left to pay taxes...
Where have you seen or witnessed this?
Rush talked about it today. He made a comment yesterday about the looter-class voting for “Santa Claus” and the enemedia went insane. Frothing at the mouth, libtard-style hate-filled “news” about the remark.
Yeah, they’re p*ssed that that truth was spoken...

I will continue to track these layoffs that were clearly planned before the election but held until afterwords and add those companies to my permanent boycott list. Note: I buy several hundred dollars worth of batteries annually in case of emergency, and on Thanksgiving weekend I replace them and donate the year-old batteries to local children's hospitals to power toys for the kids in recovery. This year's purchase will not be Energizer. I'm also dropping my Cigna medical insurance for the same reason and switching to another carrier (new carrier to be decided in the next week or so).
Good.
“Meanwhile, as of 1:33 EST, the dow is now at -87.53.”
I no longer see the DOW as tied to the well-being of America’s economy; with today’s gloablization, a rising DOW is simply indicative of a rise in Red China and India. The average American has no direct link to many of our indices anymore; the most critical ones that still have relevance are unemployment and inflation (the real inflation, not the BS peddled to the public to suppress cost-of-living adjustments for retirees).
Why are the “cost-of-living” adjustments so low for retirees but so high for public school teachers when it is time to review annual increases?
“Like Obama getting 99% of the vote totals in those Philly precincts”
Obama’s a newbie; I recall Gore getting 105% there (seriously).
Vermont has been in tough straights for decades (like much of the rust belt); beautiful place to visit, but it seems to be a tough place to make a go of it.
Has the Champlain shoreline recovered from Irene yet? I know they had a lot of damage.
