Cummins to lay off 720

By Boris Ladwig
City Editor

Cummins Inc. will lay off 720 south-central Indiana employees and halt production at Columbus MidRange Engine Plant for at least a month while Chrysler limps through bankruptcy.

A Cummins spokesman said Cummins does not know when - or if - Chrysler will purchase more of the engines - though Cummins remains optimistic that the iconic Ram truck and the companies' long-lasting and profitable relationship will continue.

The midrange plant is the exclusive supplier of 6.7-liter engines for the Dodge Ram pickup truck. Chrysler is idling the Ram plant in Saltillo, Mexico, while the company is being reorganized.

Swine Flu: Why You Can Ignore the Hype

Nothing to see here folks.

Do We Need a Car Czar, Or Is That Just an Excuse?

O'Bama has no clue? Were you asleep the 8 previous years??? The only politco that talks any sense is Ron Paul. The auto industry is just a victim of the failed economic policies of the last 28 years.

Ford's Stock Issue Makes More Sense than Microsoft's Bond

It's almost like refinancing your home, after it's paid off, even though you are already sitting on a nest egg! No wonder our country is in the mess it's in! Must be that IVY league education.

Dan, I hope that you have a LARGE short position in IAU or GLD. Can anyone say short squeeze....

GMAC: Happy to Lend You Some of Your Own Money

Sub-prime loans for a sub-prime product! Makes perfect sense.

The Great Recession Bites

I don't understand what the liberals in Congress in 1979 have to do with the impending depression, that was obviously created by the greedy mortgage institutions/brokers who created CDO's SIV's and other financial weapons of mass destruction during the past decade!

Ford's Stock Issue Makes More Sense than Microsoft's Bond

At least the lenders will be happy. Unless you can pick out the EXACT stocks that may or may not be doing well. I don't believe that you can expect the stock market overall to give you those "higher returns". Neither a lender or a borrower be!

Why GE's Selling Its Appliance Division

That's because the bureaucrat's have sent all the manufacturing out of the country already! Perhaps if our educational system wasn't in shambles, the engineers in this country would be properly trained. Instead they become "business" majors!

Why GE's Selling Its Appliance Division

Yes GElongrider, why does the middle class in this country think they should be able to enjoy a comfortable living. Is your mantra bureaucracy rules? Don't they know that to REALLY live the American dream you must be asleep!
