2,000 is just a number. To understand the whole picture, what is that in percentages? Were the employees laid off or were these jobs merely not rehired to tighten the bottom line?

Does America really need the monay so badly we tax those already in trouble because of failing health?

You obviously don't understand.

It was politically very important for the Obama administration and Ms. Pelosi's Democrat majority that the additional cost of The Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act come in at less than $1 (snicker) Trillion.

It was therefore absolutely necessary to tax the handicapped for their wheelchairs, walkers and potty chairs.

It was the least the handicapped, aged and infirm could do for their generous benefactors -- the Obama Administration and Ms. Pelosi's Democrat majority.
