Fuel prices are high becuase the LIBS for more than 20 years have been legislating american crude production and refining out of bussiness. Our country has the best oil reserves in the world but we can't drill them because the conservatives don't have the guts to tell green peace to stuff it...

Searching for a good used tractor. I have been told Werner is a good place to get a decent used truck that has been maintained well. I talked to one of thier sales guys and he said they are easy to get financed since they use multiple sources, he also told me that with 5k down and a letter of...
