Do we need governement intervention

Really? What proof?


Conservative to the Bone.

 

Not really.

I think that the Unions, which I consider socialistic in nature, will play a HUGE factor in lobbying Congress for this. In hopes of increasing their numbers.

As a driver, I'll have zero input in the matter.

I guess I should have used the term "Dictators". Meaning Union Bosses.

 

Close but no cigar.

In November 1975 President Gerald Ford called for legislation to reduce trucking regulation. He followed that by appointing to the ICC several commissioners who favored competition. By the end of 1976, these commissioners were speaking out for a more competitive policy at the ICC, a position rarely articulated in the previous eight decades of transportation regulation.

President Jimmy Carter followed Ford's lead by appointing strong deregulatory advocates and supporting legislation to reduce motor carrier regulation. After a series of ICC rulings that reduced federal oversight of trucking, and after the deregulation of the airline industry, Congress, spurred by the Carter administration, enacted the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. This act limited the ICC's authority over trucking.

 

Don't count on EOBR's to be coming. FMCSA and several companies using them just got slapped by a federal judge regarding this issue. Below is a link regarding the EOBR's. They are currently illegal according to the federal judge.

Look at the wanton spending of the corporate big wigs who wiped out the banks. This was not done by the liberal.

These same corporate entities were saved by the declaration of the president to save the banks.

Look where your money went.

Hardly socialism.

 

They were stopped, but a loophole exists for the companies to continue forward.

I look for the companies to continue so they all get on an even keel.

 

This thread is starting to look like a political one.

 

That's an example of socialism. Govt stepping in to save the banks isn't capitalism. Capitalism would have let the banks fail.

How bout the Govt bailing out GM and Chrysler? That's socialism.

How about the home market crash? That was caused by Govt manipulation of the banking industry.

It started out political. The mods should move it.

There is no loophole and no provision for the use of EOBR's according to the federal judge. They are not to be in use.
