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?

Its time to make an example of them. Heck, we were so quick to investigate and prosecute on the Enron debacle, these guys need to be an example. This is NOT what the money was intended for and the public has a right to see the government work the way its supposed to.

I'm with you, Wise, this really steams me.

The bail out provisions should have included 1 demand that had to be met or no money....


The fat cats used to getting millions of $$$ a yr salary would be forced to accept a salary of $50,000 max until the company has repaid ALL, every penny of the bail out money and put the company back in the black before their normal obscene salary can resume.

I was reading how these clowns spent this 1/2 million. I have a lot of friends who play golf and they take me along for expert cursing instruction. The golf fees are always the most expensive cost. Or at least I thought they were. These bas#@ds spent $7000. on golf. $150,000 on food. Over $20,000 on spa and massage ####. I don't know how to spend that much on food unless you are just saying bring us a case of the $2500. a bottle wine at every meal. Unbelievable.

They all should be made an example out of... Show that we Americans are not going to put up with executive abuses anymore... They left us out in the cold with their bill now we own them and they have to do what WE want... (follow the rules or goto jail)
