i imagine it might take years for infrastructure spending to actually have a meaningful effect on construction equipment sales. it's not as though these construction companies don't already own lots of cat equipment in the first place.

I would imagine they make much more of their money selling parts for their pieces of equipment. From experience I know those diesel engines will run forever but the machines are put through hell and always need replacement parts.

Clearly Cat's CEO needs to learn about HOPE

ouch...

more egg on Obamas face

Asked if the stimulus package would be able to stop the 22,000 layoffs or not, Owens said, "I think realistically no. The truth is we're going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again"

"It is going to take some time before that stimulus bill" means re-hiring, he said.

Cat's CEO wasn't on the list to be called upon for questions. How did someone miss that memo? Where is Major Garrett when we need him?

Clearly Cat's CEO needs to learn about HOPE

Clearly, Cat's CEO lacks the AUDACITY to rehire his workers.

Wrong picture. You need the one where he has one hand in my pocket pulling out money and the other hand giving money to the likes of that Suleman octuplet mom in California!
