Wonder which Communist or Third World Craphole is getting those 1900 jobs?

You'll be better off having the Dr. prescribe a placebo.

The government said last night we’re doing better and were on the road to recovery...

Of course, you’d have to be drooling in a cup to believe a word they say.

Mission Accomplished


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Yes, but America should be thank Communist China for all their great products and values offered at Walmarts...and K Mart and Sears, and JC Penny's and Dillards, and Kohls' and every other retailer in the USA.

Face it, the USA simply doesn't produce anything any more.

Where are all the pro-global economy groupies and pro-free trade/NAFTA fans we used to see on Free Republic?

They seem to have all left...Very odd.

I remember a bunch of them here about 5 years ago....

Who would have thought that obama would purposely drive a pharmaceutical co. out of business just as he proposes that the government put millions in a government run pharmaceutical research and development org.? Hummmm? Line up now and take your medicine.

"Abbott Laboratories said it is axing 1,900 workers, including about 1,000 of its more than 13,000 people in Northern Illinois as part of a restructuring.

Most of the cuts will take place..."

.

Holy crap! "Axing" and "cutting"?!

This is going to cause millions to go running down the streets of America killing women and children.

“Abbott blamed the cuts on new fees and pricing pressures associated with the healthcare reform law and a “challenging regulatory environment” at the Food and Drug Administration, which approves new drugs.”

The KEY part of that news!!!
