I know.. I did the google work for it last night. elections...have consequences and now the dolists and dems are going to reap the whirlwind...and we're stuck in the line of fire...
The reality is that they held out some belief that something would change in 2013. The results put them back at square one. You can't blame a company for looking out for it's profit margin. What you should take out of this...more companies will examine their situation, and by mid-December...do the same thing. Around April of 2013, you should expect the unemployment rate to be near nine percent. The President will pick some dimwit to be the Secretary of Business...claiming that only then can he be proactive and save the business community.
