Its amazing that these company's are contemplating layoffs when they are selling so much stuff. Sounds politically motivated to me.

Defense contractors are so full of it, they have been racking it in over the past decade with all the wars going on. UTC still cry's but its order books on S92's are back logged until 2016.

They just like to cry so people feel bad for them and get their politicians to vote for $$$ for them. I'm going to speculate that the guys running these companies want Romny to win because they think he will stop the defense cuts and possible throw some more cash at their industry, so the threat of layoffs to make the dems look bad is a good political tactic that might swing a few votes.

This is what's driving this country off the fiscal cliff, special interests own all our politicians.
