Obama, things are setting up sweet for hie re-election

This administration is doing my business in and fast. We are working more and earning less. Costs are going up and we are being regulated to death. Don't look like they are "looking out" for the "little guy" either. I AM "Joe the truck driver" and I can prove it! I own a truck, I have a CDL and derive 100% of my income from my business. Give ME a shot at questioning King Putz the 1st.

The family farmers did themselves in years before Rockin Ronnie was elected. They did that when they took the first federal subsidy. That was the beginning of the end. ALL federal money comes with strings.

Obama and the Dumb-O-Crats look out for THEIR rich owners and the ReBumLiCans look out for theirs. Not a lick of difference between them in my book.

Yes many a farmer did take the dirty money from cooperations without reading the fine print. However Darn sure glad we didnt. The Farm went from livstock as it main staple to Corn and Beans. This is because of the New Rules that were set inplace. 100 head of cattle 200 chickens 100 Hogs 200 Gallons of Milk. You get the Pic. Like I said When I went into the service 1982 livestock was the mainstaple for the farm by 1986 Corn & Soy Beans. I came out here to civilian world in 2005 Expedite was still quite lucerative so to speak now its flooded with compatition and not so lucerative. Like everything else it get sliced up 2 ta 3 times by brokers then tarriffed and cut rate as well. The RATES have plumeted but operational cost have Skyrocketed and no one can argue with this.

Mine sure have gone down. I have already run more total loads than ALL of last year and our gross is DRASTICALLY lower than last years. We SHOULD be ahead. More loads SHOULD equal MORE money. It is getting tough. Between the lower rates, stupid regulations and killer taxes there is almost no use in working hard. That has ALWAYS been the end result of socialism.

Unemployment is 13 weeks, everything else is welfare. IF there are harvest jobs available people should be required to take them. NO welfare when there is legal work available. PERIOD. NO one is ENTITLED to others peoples wages. Welfare is nothing more that a charitable donation taken at gun point. I NEED every penny I earn. When they TAKE my wages and give them to other MY family is hurt. Not right. Not in ANY way shape or form. I am TIRED of it. Tell that to those socialists protesting on Wall Street!

HOS. The ones we are working under now make our operation MORE dangerous, the new ones will be worse. The Stupidity over no phone at all. The increased diversion of fuel tax funds to bike trails etc.

Basically, everything that comes out of Lahood's (Obama's) mouth. Like U.S. drivers having to PAY for Mexican trucks EOBR's. I have to pay for mine AND theirs too. What a crock. Dang gum socialist pigs.

I don't know, most likely from one of those stupid make work project that Obama loves so much. Want to bet that the money came out of Federal highway funds?
