Elections have consequences...these poor people are seeing those consequences first hand.
 
It looks like I'm going to start the first week with 4 separate companies firing a total of 150 employees as these businesses close and relocate.
 
The Dims won the election fair and square and fixing what ails our economy and whatnot is their task at hand. So good luck to them. Raise taxes, spend money, or whatever the hell else they think will work and we'll just see how it all turns out.

Some of us have an idea how that's likely to be but the electorate has spoken and picked our path for us. What's coming might be an important learning lesson for some, but probably not for enough
though.

C'mon, everyone sing along....Que sera sera...
