Trucking in new workers or democrat voters?
From Phyllis Schlafly over at Town Hall.It is amazing that, with unemployment unacceptably high, the Obama administration has endorsed a plan that will cost U.S. jobs and make highway driving for Americans more dangerous and less pleasant. Barack Obama wants to admit Mexican trucks to drive on all U.S. highways and roads.
Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, explained what this means: "U.S. truckers would be forced to forfeit their own economic opportunities, while companies and drivers from Mexico, free from equivalent regulatory burdens, take over their traffic lanes." We wonder if Mexico has any regulatory standards at all.
Mexican trucks are known to be overweight and lacking in safety regulations we consider essential, such as anti-lock brakes. Mexico doesn't have national databases that track drivers' records, background checks, drug usage and arrests, and it's known to be easy to get a commercial driver's license with a bribe.
Didn't Bush get hell for something similar?Barack=brilliant.Bush=bad.
It will be W's fault long after 2012........
I miss this man.......
His own words on the groundbreaking of the George W Bush library.
The ceremony featured former vice president Dick Cheney, who made one of his first public appearances since heart surgery this year -- and who, in contrast to his former boss, couldn't resist taking a shot at Obama.
Citing the construction schedule of the library, Cheney said, "This may be the only shovel-ready project in America," using a phrase Obama used to describe stimulus bill items but later discarded.
Lovely. H/T JWF
I am sorry but the man is an ASS....Who has been President almost two years Barry?
“They’re betting that between now and November, you’ll come down with a case of amnesia,” Obama said. “They think you’ll forget what their agenda did to this country. They think you’ll just believe that they’ve changed. These are the folks whose policies helped devastate our middle class and drive our economy into a ditch. And now they’re asking you for the keys back.”
Uh, who has had both houses of Congress for almost four years Barry? The first trillion you stole from the taxpayers didn't work, so why not flush another 50 billion down the crapper.... You spend billions like they are nickels anyway.You don't get a pass anymore, the whole damn country has been watching and they don't like what they see!!
