Did he not just say ….. "A friendlier environment for American small business". Obahama, that's who. I swear I heard him say just those words. Well, that is what his right hand was saying. What his left hand was whisp...ering behind our backs is "Let's take American tax dollars and give them to the Mexican truckers to buy the equipment they need to come across our border to take our American trucking jobs."

Yup, you heard it right. They are at it again. The Mexican truck pilot program is back….. again. Although still in its early stages, this time they have added a few interesting twist according to some of the news articles that I have been reading. Now keeping in mind that we as a country are only about fourteen trillion dollars in debt, Obahama has agreed to pay for electronic on board recorders for every Mexican truck that crosses our borders under this new version of the program. That means as I see it, that they are going to take money from my company that I need for keeping my truck repaired and safe to drive on our highways and give it to a person from another country so they can come up here and put me…. out of business.

Also, in this new version, is the fact that if a company can last eighteen months on our highways, they will forever be able to run in the United States. So even if the program is successfully ended, they remain. And let's not leave out company drivers. No sir. Why pay an American driver American wages when you can pay a third world driver less than half. I was reading just the other day about a company that imports foreign drivers at a reduced pay and houses them here in the states. When will this end.

We as American citizens need to start informing the powers that be of this one fact. You are either for us, or you are against us. We want our jobs,,,, period. We can no longer support the rest of the world while we stand back and watch ourselves fill the welfare lines. I have nothing against foreign trade, but the deals that are being made benefit no one but the other guy and the politicians that make the deals. It has been a long time since a deal has been made to the benefit of the America people and that stretch needs to come to a close…. NOW.

So, once again, instead of building our businesses, investing in our jobs and spending time with our families; we are going to have to drop everything and raise holy hell with the current administration and explain to them that we, as Americans, want our jobs. That we, as Safe truck drivers want to keep our Highways safe for the American public. That they, as our dually elected American officials work for us, not them.

Just my opinion

California: The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.

1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.

2. He calls animal control. Animal Control captures coyote and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.

3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.

4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.

6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.

7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.

8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack somehow and for letting the Governor attempt to intervene.

9. Additional cost to State of California : $75,000 to hire and train a new security agent with additional special training re: the nature of coyotes.

10. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files suit against the State.

Arizona: The Governor of Arizona is jogging with her dog along a nature trail. A Coyote jumps out and attacks her dog.

1. The Governor shoots the coyote with her State-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point  cartridge.

2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.

And that, boys and girls, is why California is broke ................
And more importantly, why too much government doesn't work.
