Peter_Puget Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 President Obama today repeated the claim we asked about yesterday at the press briefing that Jim Owens, the CEO of Caterpillar, Inc., “said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.” Caterpillar announced 22,000 layoffs last month. But after the president left the event, Owens said the exact opposite. 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.” link Anyone else feel a train wreck approaching...... Quote
