He did one thing, he simplified the tax system to reduce the amount of tiers and lowered the rates. That's about it. On his watch he let a lot of things happen that the dems wanted, he was the comprimising president, vetoed bills only when the republicans lost congress. Until then he and the...

OVM, shut up - I don't need any more nightmares. Oiler, He could do a lot in his first year. The first thing he could have done is say this "I want to find out who in congress caused this" and then pushed the congress to clean house - Frank, Dodd and a lot of others should removed off these...

So just because they saved your pension and your health care it is alright to dump the debt on the tax payers while there are other companies that have been in trouble and no one came to their rescue? What about letting pensions go unless there is a need to rescue them when someone like Denny...

Well Sorry oiler, I am "I inherited ..." burned out by our governor blaming all the problems on the previous governor.

Boy Jim somebody must have p*ssed on your cornflakes today!

JIm, Why didn't you post this in the general forum? I would like to see what others think too. Maybe I am one of the few who don't like the idea that someone who never have been in a truck before should just be able to get a license and get to work. This industry is made up of a lot of...

How does anyone who gets elected to an office inherit the problems? He knew as Senator what was going on, it wasn't like he came to work on the first day and had a great discovery - the big mess that we are in was hidden from view and he didn't see it at all. He was part of the problem, not the...

I think a few missed something - stay at home dad? I don't know what you are looking for but most of the mainstream companies don't bring you home at the end of the day. And if you are going into this as someone with barely enough money to survive on the road for a few days without work or...

Is this an industry or a niche market?

I would have rather seen Obama take the initiative to take resources that are duplicated in other departments within the government and use that money to accelerate the program. Clinton and Bush should have been forcing NASA to move on retiring the shuttle to produce a replacement vehicle. It...

Yea OVM, you better not be negative or we will report you - all of US Citizens have that special phone number directly to the DHS Immigrant Negative Comment task force and they act fast. :p We don't need any more of those subversive anarchist from Canada coming here and complaining about our...

It all depends but the point is that the policy of the union should be uniform for all, not allowing one plant/ one local to have a poor work environment while others don't - isn't that the fundamental purpose of the UAW? SO because the government won't enforce the laws and take property away...

Sorry Panda, this is not true. Even with Force Majeure in the contract, there may be a problem with the dispatcher and safety on the issue. It has been known to happen a number of times where the dispatcher said "drive it" and safety would back them. Not saying the Fed is the only one, they are...

But the real problem is if the employment laws are enforced equally, it may be an issue for unions because of the problems they cover for their employees. For example, Chrysler had a problem with sexual harassment at one of their plants. The UAW sided with the guy who was harassing the women -...

Increase the customs officers and streamline the system to move the trucks through, that will solve all the problems.

1 - Oilerman, I would have agreed with the UAW's position but they want to reform immigration instead of ENFORCING employement laws. Immigration, including the "guest" worker programs and other VISA programs don't put the people at risk, the lack of enforcement of all the employment laws do. 2...

Well I am glad he is out of congress, doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. He was a disgusting old man who helped our enemies by putting our soldiers at risk by ripping down their moral. He was wrong in his position about our military and the people in uniform, he represented the people who...

I really hope you are not taking any of this personal. It is years and years of dealing with the union and the people who run it that has made me synical at best. Not really, when you look at the structure, the sources of revenue and the fact that all these companies have some interconnection...

Its not the generator, it is the engine and then you need an alternator. There are engines out there, one is Northern Tool and the other is the Surplus Center in Omaha. I talked with the importer where I got my last quote for these engines and he told me that they have a hold on the engines...

SEIU? Get real Chef, the teamsters and the UAW are also trying to help this get passed. It means more members for them. I thought many of the groups opposing this were Pro-American groups. The interesting thing is the AFL-CIO and the UAW are not progressive groups? What happened to the...
