Caterpillar Or Pbama: One Of Them Is Lying

One of them is a liar. A big, fat, stinking, lying sack of liquid crap.

From ABC's Political Punch:

    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"

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

    Owens supports the stimulus plan, but said it would take some time to have an impact on his industry and "is a little light on the heavy construction."

Either Pbama or Owens is lying. Whew. Hard for me to decide on this one.

In Caterpillar-related news, Congressman Aaron Schock says not one Caterpillar employee told him that they supported the Pbama Stimupork. Not one Caterpillar employee told him they support the stimulus legislation.

    President Obama urged...Caterpillar employees to lobby [Aaron Schock]; he went to the floor of the House today and said that he had stayed around for half-an-hour and not one Caterpillar employee came to him and urged him to -- to vote for the stimulus package and, in fact, over the course of time, 1,400 Caterpillar employees have urged him to oppose the stimulus package.

Which one is a liar? Hahahaha, that's a sucker bet! I pick the one who has been lying all along! obama of course! To obama: Liar, Liar, "Muslim attire on fire!!"
 
Will the stimulus bill compromise lower your tax rebate to $8 per week? That appears to be true. The final version has not been passed, but reports indicate the $500 per year in reduced tax withholding has been reduced to $400 per individual and $800 per couple. That only comes to $8 per week for an individual and $16 for a couple. If they start the payments in June and make it retroactive to the beginning of the year, you will get $13 per week until next January. Then, your rebate would drop to the $8 per week level. Are you felling stimulated yet? In a stimulus bill of almost $1 trillion dollars, you would think President Obama would have more for the working class.
 
Theodore, not hard to spot the liar, is it?

Yeah, those amounts have decreased, haven't they. Even less of what we work for will we be allowed to keep. How generous of the Marxists.
