a few nights ago...

Huge kickbacks for contributors... I think GE alone gets like $8 Billion in cuts, despite having $15 Billion in profits last year

about why he did it so quietly.

8. Did that a Friday, didn't he? Thursday or Friday. And not one squawk
from anyone (except here). The news media thought the big story was why he was so quiet about it. I guess they were wondering why he wasn't bragging and holding a press conference like he usually does when he pulls something and then wants to justify it with how his latest rape of the US taxpayer is going to create more jobs, etc.
