With regards to your comments accusing Willie Green of being a "troll", I think you are out of line. Layoffs happen to Democrats, Republicans, independents, liberals and conservatives. Willie Green is within the FR guidelines on posting this article.
Well exactly what is the point of the post? "Layoffs happen to everybody." I'm not saying he shouldn't be able to make the post, but unless he is arguing the layoff and alleged loss of pension is due to some government policy, or lack thereof what is the purpose of the post. What point is being made. If it is not a political commentary, and just intended as a human interest story, I would question the choice of the FR as a forum.
