Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

these guys are using our money to take care of their own.........socialist, capitalist, whatever name you want to call it,

they have underwritten billions upon billions in the past 6 months for people's failures

where is this money coming from? we have little as it is, not because there is little money, there is much money, just being grabbed up by the politicians and corporations

are corporations evil? no, they cant be, they dont have a soul to be evil

is the devil evil or just being himself?

It seems like what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right! Why should the government bail out big business? They are not the backbone of America, small business' are the back bone of this country. Let the big business' go out cause the small business' can keep this country running without much effort and it's been proven small business' can adapt to change much quickly than big business'. This can really be applied to trucking. Let's say with this increase of fuel Billy Bob Trucking can adapt more quickly and find ways of saving money such as an APU without sacrificing driver comfort while JB Hunt and all them mega fleets are telling the truckers not to idle over a certain % or they get fired or they take away their pay for how much they idle. If they would install APU's they wouldn't have this problem of drivers constantly idling. How would they like it if they had to work and sleep in heat or cold like they are making drivers do? This is one of the many reasons why I want to run my own small fleet of trucks and they are constantly giving me more and more reasons to do so!

Wall St. controls the Government as Greed drives them Vultures, they High Jacked Commodity's all summer and ran the prices of fuel and food through the roof.
Then the greedy B****rds want Government money to bail their sorry
AS**S out. As they destroy the economy.
True Capitalism is a few get richer some get poorer, exploitation of man by man.

Only if you believe in Capitalism. Too bail them out would be the same as WELFARE. The very thing Repubs claim to be opposed to. Capitalism regulates itself. Those who succeed and make a honest profit survive and stay in business. Those who can't make a honest profit fail and go away leaving room for others to step in.
