I'm wondering where did they pull that $100 million? Have you taken a look at their financials the past 3 years? We're they planning on having a hiring blitz?
Doesn't look good..2009 was 1/3 of what 2008 was.
The JD dealer in the next town over from me just declared bankruptcy..seems farmers can't pay the loans and those big machines got repo'd and did the dealer in.
The farmers, due to the bad weather, just didn't get income from the crops last year. This was just one dealer..don't know about others.
Let's take about the only two heavy equipment manufacturers left in the US (CAT and Deere), ruin thier profits, force layoffs, and force them to shift manufacturing overseas.
Have the liberals completely lost thier minds!?

As to your last sentence : Yes , without a friggin doubt, they have accomplished that very feat !!! !!!
The "Padded Party Room" is awaiting these special folks.
When did the average Joe become a fascist concerned more with corporate welfare than our country's and citizens' welfares?
Well, without companies people don't have jobs so you better worry about a company's financial health.
Unless the goal is to rid all companies and have a nation of welfare receipants..then we're well on our way.

Two multinational corporations. I am much more interested in small businesses, where most job growth comes from, NOT having to take on the burden of tying health insurance to jobs.

They just announced hiring 500 additional employees within the last couple of days..

Small business has their own share of problems. Under 50 employees they are exempt. Over..well they are mandated to offer insurance, pay taxes and fines.
If you work, health insurance is still tied to your job.
Let the government pay for it, make prostitution and Marijuana legal and tax it. Ohhh wait thats too smart and easy, some religous right idiot might get offended.
Start taxing the $hi% out of imports coming into this country, republicans want their rich CEO buddies to get even richer, right now oil refineries in the eastern U.S are closing because of imported gasoline from Europe and India. Raise taxes on it so high that after two years you can pay for healthcare for 50 years, after the two years imports will stop U.S oil companies in this country start making record profits again then tax them at 5% higher than they did before. U.S oil company CEO's, god forbid may have too take less salary for a couple of years you know, instead of making 10 million with stock options a year maybe they could live on 7 million for 2 years. Of course that would lead to mass layoffs as no one can survive on that meager salary but after a few years healthcare would be paid for and jobs will come back to the U.S.
Me, a nitwit from Delaware just solved the healthcare problem, next.
ps, tax all imports, no more NAFTA it was treason to start and it still is. Each president that doesn't end NAFTA should be shot for treason. NAFTA undermines working people of the U.S
