    Ron Paul raid not needed

    True, I didn't say he said that but others have had a euphoric time with the death of the guy who may not be as significant as people have made him out to be.

    Would real expediters?

    Well I guess it would be OK, with today's video capture/editing programs one could build a great library of educational videos but ... If I have a navigation unit, some come with help built in while others have an owners manual and with my streets & trips/MS map point, I have a thing called...

    Ron Paul raid not needed

    Turtle, this is the foundation for my point. Using it as a politcal vehicle is one thing but Obama and many others make it out as the end of terrorism and how we are now safer than we were before. Listening to a few middle east terrorist 'experts' out of some university (didn't catch where...

    Ron Paul raid not needed

    His foreign policy and actions have me questioning things a bit but not as much as Obama's need to make the death a political campaign point for reelection.

    International 4400 won't start right away?

    I would expect about $250 to $400. BUT you can replace the solenoid.

    Everything You Need To Know About Being A "Natural-Born Citizen"

    Actually no. He was born while she was still married to a prince, so hence she represents the UK as a diplomat. Once she got divorced and didn't do anything as an official of the UK government, if she dropped another kid, it would have been a US citizen. BUT you got to ask yourself this - would...

    the Fed Rserve and our Fed Gov...

    Not according to some right here, many think that the president can spend money, make laws and declare wars. Maybe too much credence is given to an assumption that many can think. Umm.... yea right .... learn how the fed got started, who were the key players and what the time line was...

    the Fed Rserve and our Fed Gov...

    Well Dennis, you seem to have left a donut for the original post and left it open to interpret that either you are listening to Rush and Hannitty too much or just don't want to put an effort into actually explaining what in the hell you are talking about. Because we have three parts of the...

    Maybe a lift is in sight...

    Well I don't want this to be a bash against those who served in combat roles, but my point goes beyond what you both are saying and it has to do with what are we going to do to fix our real problems in our economy and our society. Unless we take hard hits on the "shared sacrifice" front, we...

    Maybe a lift is in sight...

    Why would it be a hornet's nest? We have to come to grips with reality, one of those realities is that we can't afford to do what we could do in the past. Maintaining programs just because people say they need to be maintained is stupid. People scream about the entitlement programs and how...

    Maybe a lift is in sight...

    Well I don't see the American dream as owning a home, that is a fallacy that came after WW2 to sell homes. The American Dream is the opportunity to be what you want to be and on your own terms which doesn't require government involvement at all. See I am having an issue grappling with this...

    the Fed Rserve and our Fed Gov...

    What's your point? this is econ 101 and financial history 101 stuff The problem is not with the fed but with the fact that congress let it loose to make it's own decisions and has yet to actually bring to task the fed's actions all within congress's authority to stop the BS within the fed that...

    So much choices......

    Compared to 2009/2010, yep. If we look back into history, nope but we don't hear how bad it was in 2007 rather we are hearing from a select few how great it is to be in a van or how a couple companies have been treating them so well the contractors are scheduling their company spa treatments...

    Do you really need a hazmat endorsement?

    You know I'm asked this question a lot and here is my suggestion - get it. It isn't about if you are going to haul it or the carrier requires it but rather that you put an effort into learning a bit more than what you need to get by to get a CDL. One fleet owner here won't consider anyone...

    International 4400 won't start right away?

    Sounds like a ground problem but I would haul it into an International dealer, pay the $200 to have it fixed.

    "Wikileaks Threatens Leakers"

    Atlas is shrugging, something leftists think never happens

    That's all good and well but .... when there is no industry to use gold and we are fighting for scraps of food, what does gold do for us? It is too soft to use as bullets in guns without adding something else to it. It is too soft to make tools out of. It can't be eaten. It can't be used...

    Is A Return to The Gold Standard Possible ?

    As dakota said, there isn't enough gold. In order to do this, all the countries will have to agree to it and then there has to be an adjustment of the value of the dollar, which means if you bought that $125k house this year, it will be worth $25k in new dollars. Your wages will appear to have...

    Re: West Coast Runs Reconsidered

    BUT see here's the issue that this overlooks, FedEx owns a lot of equipment - from planes to box cars - and they cut costs any which way they can. Using their own equipment over a contractor's equipment is what they should do because the equipment in their case and in the case of UPS and other...

    Bill Aims to Increase Truck Parking Spaces

    I thought that bill was passed last year or something like that but if it hasn't been passed, it shouldn't be. The basis that the bill was created on, a lack of parking may be a problem in some places but the incident that triggered the bill's name from what I have read wasn't because of a...
