Heinz also announced they are cutting 600 jobs here in Pittsburgh. (now that Warren Buffet owns them he has to SQUEEZE more cash out of his ketchup operation in order to bribe Democrats to not build pipelines)

Will the media ever bother to mention that CT has a very hostile business climate?
Will they blame it on 0bama’s socialist policies?
