MASSIVE GOVERNMENT STIMULUS HAS NOT HELPED CATERPILLAR AS PROMISED
Aaraon Schock: While the stimulus bill has not helped workers, it has saddled them and their children with mindboggling additional debt.
Washington D.C. - A little more than a month after passage of the President’s economic stimulus bill, it has become reality that the hype and promises Caterpillar would not proceed with planned layoffs and rehire laid off workers if Congress passed the stimulus bill was inaccurate.
Congress did pass the stimulus bill and the President got everything he wanted from Congress. Yet, today Caterpillar announced even more layoffs. These additional layoffs confirm CAT workers were misused by the Administration as justification for the stimulus bill.
“These additional layoffs are a result of the on-going recession,” said Schock. “Sadly, the false hopes that passage of the stimulus bill would enable them to keep their jobs are now a horrible letdown. I opposed the stimulus bill because only 6 percent of this massive bill was for infrastructure. I supported legislation that would have created twice the jobs at half the price, and included more funding for infrastructure that would have increased the demand for Caterpillar machinery.”
“In my speech against passage of the flawed stimulus bill, I said ‘this bill is too big to get it wrong,’ but these layoffs are another sign that they did get this bill wrong,” continued Schock. “As a result, we have little increased infrastructure construction, more layoffs, dashed hopes, massive wasteful spending and vastly increased debt.”
“I will join the President and colleagues in Congress if they are willing to embark on a sensible agenda that would lead to economic growth,” Schock concluded. “The challenges we face are too important not to.”

It just goes to show you, how administrators like to abuse their power. If they hadn't given the upper office personel and themselves raises...

So Bush took eight years to run us off into the ditch, but Obama gets panned if he can't get things running smoothly in a couple months? Oh, Please!

Don't worry-Obama isn't done yet. Bush was a rotten ???egg! Obama will rise, but it sure isn't going to happen in a couple months. Bush created a monster, and now Obama has to tame it. It will take some time. As it has been said before, it didn't take over nigh to get this deep-and it will not take over night to get out of the pit either..... No matter what Obama will do, to the eyes of the conservatives, every move is wrong. Look at all the b.s. Bush did, and no one said nothing, nor did nothing. And now we have someone come in look at the cards he was dealt with, and has to decide on strategies that could be a lose lose situation, and determine what is best for the American people. We will struggle, we will have times that seem to be worst before it gets better...we will make it. There will be sacrifices, some no one will like, some no one will seem to notice... We will just have to pull ourselves up by our boot straps, and man up. We are ALL in it together. No one is above what will be coming next. we all need to do our part. Sure we will get upset, and may say things, but have faith! Pray for our leaders, law makers, descision makers, both foreign, and local. Pray for our families. Carry a smile, and a kind word. Lend a hand when it is needed. Say something nice, from the heart when you feel angry. We could all be surprised how far, it will get us.

Aaraon Schock runs his mouth in total disregard for intelligence. He absolutely knows really nothing, especially when it come to the word deficet! Like Tupac was saying, if the upper powers of the company wasn't giving these huge raises to the corporate suits, and each other, and not giving back to the company, and into the company, CAT would not be in the perdicament they are in right now. I am not talking about the guys who get their hands dirty, greasy, and calloused! It's the suits! The greedy suits. They care about the company and their workers as much as the crap on the bottoms of their shoes. Schock, and those suits need to live on the same pay as the blue collar workers for one month, just to see what it is like! Bush too! Bush's WMD's is what put us in the situation we are in today! Not listening to the proper channels when told! Making wild "Texan" choices and reaching for something to grab, when it wasn't there. What a "cowboy"! I just hope President Obama can get his second term in, and that Bush can see what President Obama will have done...because he will be able to. Again, like Tupac said, it will seem to get worst before it gets better. We all need to work together. We all have had to make sacrifices, and I am sure more is on the way.

It has only started. Electing a socialist to the White House in order, as Emanual says "to take advantage of the situation", will bring what once was The United States of America to total ruin.
Unfortunately, the youngster in the White House will quite likely be the last President to ever be elected. America had it all, then just flushed it all down the toilet in pursuit of the false promise of socialism.
As the nation falls, libs still want even more handouts from Uncle Sugar. It is a strange world.

Concern,
I find it a bit perplexing that you would dub yourself an "actual American" and then spout off about the destruction of this great nation. Interesting... Do you not see how bizarre that is? An "actual American" is someone that continues to better their life in this country, someone that has pride in America, and someone that is respectful of all Americans. You are none of these things. Actual American? I think not. I believe a more fitting name for you would be Unconcerned, an actual ignorant mizer.

An actual American would never assist in turning what once was America into a socialist cesspool. There can never be "a better life", "pride in America", or "respect for ANY so-called American" under socialism/communism.
Under socialism the USA does not even exist. All it is under socialism is just another failing welfare state.

Ha! Ha! I underestimated you! You are even more ignorant than ever believed to be. If you are going to "quote" me, don't change my words. I said "all Americans." YOU said " ANY so-called Americans." Please learn how to properly assert yourself as well. It's very unhealthy for you to continue to hide behind your technological courage.
P.S. Not everyone is on welfare, just for your information. My family holds its own and takes care of all of our responsibilities ON OUR OWN. Always has, always will.

No, you cannot be both an American and a socialist.
If your family "holds its own" why would you want America to totally fall due to the further expansion of the socialist welfare state? That doesn't make any sense. Why not just flush every cent you have down the toilet instead? That would make more sense than supporting and cheerleading for socialism.

And just what do think ol' George W did? What the heck are you thinking? Americans are tired of the b.s. the rebublican party has been spreading the last 8 years. Lies, deceit, ethnic cleansing! No different than Suddam Hussein! You could have shaken all three up in a gunny sack and all three would look the same when dumped out. Bush was a terrorist just like them!
Our country is in the shape it is in now due to his totalatarian beleifs, just as yours...Our America, is in the deepest debt and turmoil because of him. And you expect us, to beleive you! Ha!

Oh, you are just so ridiculous. I am a "cheerleader" for America. What doesn't make any sense is the fact that you continue to post on this site after everyone points out all of YOUR contradictions. Your hatred for all things human does "concern" me, though. The best thing for you to do is take some of YOUR money and invest in some therapy (do they still use electrical shock therapy?). Have a Super, God given, AMERICAN day!

"Ethnic cleansing"? Did President Bush make someone take a bath?
"debt"? President Bush had nothing to do with what you call "debt". In fact, if not for FDR establishing the socialist welfare state, what used to be the USA would have no national debt at all.
"President Bush was a terrorist blah blah blah". Lib silliness.
Barracko HUSSEIN Uuuuubama, the SanFrancisco treat.

i realize you are in total denial of what "W" has done. but just look at what everyone has written on replies to what you have written. no one wants to live thru that again. 8 years of him, and his administration has damaged us, and now we need to re-build. you could not persuade anyone that has posted replies to your comments any different, so why continue?

What, as the young libs call the President they hate because he beat Albert Gore, Jr. in the election, "W" "has done" is of no harm to the health of America.
All of Americ'a problems are the result of Franklin D. Roosevelt creating the socialist welfare state on U.S. soil. Then the massive expansion of the socialist welfare state by Lyndon Brains Johnson, and his turning the public schoolhouse into socialist indoctrination centers for the offspring of those on the lib'rul's LSD.
Now we have the boy mesiah, who has never held a job but plays basketball, to lead what once what was America to its final demise.
Spendulous! Spendulous! Spend that money borrowed from the Chinese. All that debt that can NEVER be repaid. Socialism for all! More handouts for all yee good libs! The lib's boy king is here!
Tax! Tax! Tax! Uuuuubama does promise. To the delight of all the good libs. Run what little business and industry that is left out of the country! Make the ol' meanies flee! Everybody can just live on what the gub-mint can borrow from the friendly Chinese, the mesiah do a say!
But, soon, very soon the young libs will be a crying, when the Chinese come to foreclose and tell ye all to flee and vacate their new land. So it will be, all because of liberalism and false promise of bliss from the socialist party and its king, the young Barracko HUSSEIN Uuuuubama.
