OK let’s start, the economy in ’93 was faultering, Clinton’s years were in part helped by the big boom in the tech sector that went bust around the 2000 election. We shored up the losses by boasting the housing market as Clinton was leaving office by lowering interest rates which gave way two...

Oh boy you think that was something, going to my pickup down I86 and just as I was going to pass the "you are now entering the Senaca nations" sign, I spun around and saw the back of the sign go away - 21,830lbs of truck spinning like a top! I just finished cleaning up the sleeper, the up side...

So what happens if I work for the school but get terminated as part of a lay off and want to return to school as a student, can I carry or not? See the ambiguity of the term 'fired' is a concern. Oh is there any provisions there for open medical records for the school to make a determination...

OK, two questions - Have you ever driven a truck before with this trans? Have you ever driven a truck before? Here is my advice, forget that one. I would look for one with an Allison transmission because the spicer would be a pain to pull a boat with. There are plenty of them out there...

Caution Long post ahead – but read it anyway……please “Dear Fred, What happened? You know that you sorely pissed off a lot of people who believed in you and your position and made us hate Law and Order.” Thompson is a BIG disappointment but that is in the past as much as McCain...

Leo, I would say IF I go down that path of not voting for McCain I will be more than just interested in politics, I will be very vocal to my representatives about who is in the WH. As I have tried to explain to some, the president is not the person to be concern about, it is the congressman and...

Now because of OVM's post, I really feel that all vans should log to equal the playing field. ;)

I too also sit here confused. I would assume that; 1- the rest of the story would be published to correct our assumptions 2 - that being the owner of a truck, like me, the plate is my responsibility and I had to pay out of pocket for it. But because assumptions are a dangerous thing to...

It will not be Obama or Hillary that will turn their backs on Israel, it will be McCain. He will also restrict freedoms as he has with his campaign finance reform.

I used the rule of thirds, a third for everything. At tax time, I would figure out what I am to pay the feds and state and take the difference out of the tax third. I would assume that if you keep up on your expenses and know where you stand week by week, you can figure out your tax liability...

Sorry but the courier will have to find his/her own way to the place I am going to. Unless it is a mandated thing, like a government load, there is no way anyone would be in the truck with me - my private space and all that. There is one exception, if the pay is $10 a mile all miles, I might...

What is the real issue here? The retiree 100K winner getting into the business or the second income owner? Look I am sorry if this steps on pro-UAW toes but I don't want UAW buyouts happening at all. I don't begrudge the person who is being laid off if they want to use this as a source of...

David, I am not worried about that, we have already seen the congress replace the state department with pelosi going to Syria. The issues about Obama are not about religion that really make me worry but of the twisted race issue that is ignored in this country. Here is the thing even if...

Well I heard his little victory speech and got to say he is living in a dream world. He has said all along how he is a conservative, he can pull the country out of the shape it is in and something to the effect that "It shows one thing. I'm the conservative leader who can unite the party" - that...

Mypie, I understand where you're coming from and I will try to be a little more focus in my post. Sorry. Look, the path we are on with the government trying to intervene in any crash will put us into a more difficult position in the near term. The worry has been the stock market and the...

NO! not at all, if we can recognize the problems and at least for some of us, correct them as we move forward, it will lessen any negative impact for the person. But if we sit on our hands and do nothing and let the government solve the problems, we will be worst off. The problem is all these...

Sorry guys/gals we are in a recession and it can be going into a depression. The issue for many economist, ‘the experts’ and financial professions who study the economy is they really can’t figure out or agree on what the problems are and where we actually are sitting. For me it is...

Yes we have an aggressive economy but age of the economy has nothing to do with it. In comparison to France, they have had several changes in government, going from a monarchy to something of an unrepresented republic. Germany went from a splintered country made up of many different...

OVM, We can compare but we have to take some considerations what the rest of the world is like first. Our economy is not the same as France or Germany, they have high personal taxes, VAT taxes and their government and unions work with businesses where we have lower personal taxes, we have...

OVM, I don't care what others in other countries pay for fuel, we have a different economy, we have a different culture. Why should we compare ourselves to Europe and the EU when we can't possibly have our countries run like that. It is all about having the amount of taxes they have to pay...
