Caterpillar has plants all over the world....but since most of the reduction in orders seems to target large mining equipment....THAT'S USA....in the middle of Obama country.

Added-When Obama said he was going to bust the coal mining industry, wonder if he even gave a thought to what all that would entail.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Way back in the days of Clinton, Rush kept pointing out the the democrats want problems, as that is what gets them elected, not solutions.

He is going to go for 10% unemployment.  He want most of the jobs out there to be public sector jobs where he has the right to hire.

Very scary dude, Our Obama
