10. It's not. This is the right wing being played for rubes.

Fox Noize and others are just trumpeting every single layoff as a result of the election. Not so. You tell me RIM wasn't going to fire people? That whole COMPANY is on a death watch, and it's not even specifically related to the economy, let alone health care. They were trading at over $140 in 2008. Their stock is worth about 8$ now. They are goners.

A lot of these layoffs were coming anyway, most or all for unrelated reasons.
