It's not like these people were owed back pay and didn't get it. Anyone working for Toys R Us should have been making plans to get out as soon as the company's problems became pretty well known years ago.

There's a reason why this story is making national news. The company is headquartered in New Jersey, and several members of the state's Congressional delegation are making political hay out of it. The idea that these laid-off workers have anything to complain about is laughable when you have a national unemployment rate below 4% and employers are desperate to find good help. But this is New Jersey we're talking about ... and the state is a fiscal disaster that employers are fleeing in droves.

And go where?

And NJ just passed a law to bring back their own version of the recently-eliminated "Individual Mandate" and push it onto NJ victims... up to $2000 in tax penalties for daring to reject the glories of ObamaCare. Why would anyone keep voting for this?
