Caterpillar equipment and parts

I worked for Caterpillar until retiring 10 years ago. Back then roughly 50% of product was exported. The entire world economyy is down now, thanks in large part to Chris Dodd and Barney Frank and so is Caterpillar's business, the percentage is probably about the same though.

If we ever get rid of this communist administration and congress, I expect all businesses to rebound.
