The only one whining is you.
Thanks, House!
But based on this snippet:
it sounds like they have been getting a tax break since 2003?
So I guess they were. Andthey made business decisions based on that. Afterall, they were offering a pescription service to their personnel.
How would you like it if you made a fianncial decision based on what you knew, and then someone decided to change the rules on you during recession?
But if I took your post properly, your attitude is "hey, they were offered a tax break for doing the right thing for 7 years, and now that they are struggling financially, we are taking that tax break away AND making it law that they spend even MORE MONEY doing the right thing...and tough noggies on them if it creaetes serious fiancnail hardhsip for them"
And lets see what happens when they are forced to lay off. "Those evil greedy CAT owners. They take an itty bitty financial hit and they make the employees suffer"
Not saying you will say that Mr. Yank. Just saying that has been the rhetoric as of late.
Thank you for puting so many words in my mouth their Jarhead....and now if you are done with your drama queen impression?

I clearly stated "If I took you post properly" nd I also added in "not saying you will say that Mr. Yank".
Did I not cover myself properly with those? I bolded them just now for you to see.
Sorry. No harm meant. I really tried to make myself clear that I was NOT assuming anything you may think or say.
I will be more careful next time. (not being sarcastic. I like your posts).
As for the drama queen impression. How am I doing?

You and I get along just fine, Jarhead. I was hoping I did not need to add my <insert sarcasm here> logo for you?

The drama queen thing. How am I doing?
And no, from here on in, no sarcasm insert needed. My mistake for missing it.

Not in public. No.
But been practicing in front of the mirror for years.
Oh wait. You said drama queen. I thought you said dancing queen.
Never mind.
The reason why CAT (and I imgine others) are taking the 100 million hit:
Caterpillar To Take $100 Million 1Q Charge Related To Health Bill
They are required to do so...
Thanks, House!
But based on this snippet:
Caterpillar, the world's largest construction equipment manufacturer by sales, warned last week that provisions in the legislation would subject the company to federal income taxes on the federal subsidies it receives for providing prescription drug benefits for its retirees and their spouses. Since 2003, the company has received tax-free reimbursements toward its drug-benefit expenses.

They've been saving us money by not dumping their retirees into a Medicare prescription plan... How is that a bad thing?
Lots of people and companies get tax breaks... You get one for every kid you have and if you buy a new Algore Approved refridgerator...

Since you don't post what company you work for it makes it rather difficult to respond. And just because they don't mention their accounting issues in an email to employees do you think they don't have any?
I didn't think my company woudl appreciate me posting internal documents with their name included. Suffice it to say that I work for a global conglomerate.
Essentially, the whiners are complaining about losing the a tax break the Republicans gave them. It's real money but most of us would say they didn't deserve it. Maybe your employer isn't a whiner and isn't complaining about not getting something he didn't deserve.

Dang it would seem VaYank already made the point contained in my last post.
Kudos, Yank, and pardon me for being repetitive folks.
