It will shrink its paint and frame operations in its York, Pa., plant and close its distribution facility in Franklin, Wis., whose duties will be handled by a third party......

WAUTOMA, Wis. (AP) -- Tough economic times have shuttered a manufacturing plant in Wautoma (wah-TOH'-mah).

Nearly 200 people will be out of work when Cummins Incorporated closes its plant at the end of March.

Not necessarily Wisconsin but with far reaching affects.

Caterpillar - 20000
Pfizer - 19000
Home Depot - 7000
Sprint/Nextel - 8000

The sooner they pass Obama's plan the better. At least it may haved an effect.

That's hilarious tho quite true sadly. I think the days of this old idea of you verses me, reflected especially in the quote about "anti-business types", is gone now with Obama. Hopefully that will mean real change.

Also I heard 50,000 people nationwide lost their jobs today. Did anyone see 60 minutes this weekend? If not, here's the emotional clip about a town hard hit by these layoffs:

Third-generation family business Henshue Construction, Inc. is the latest local casualty of the economic downturn.

Henshue will lay off approximately 66 employees and permanently close its facility at 313 W. Beltline Highway on March 30, the Department of Workforce Development announced Tuesday.
