Don't forget those other two wonderful government health care messes, Medicare and Medicade. Of the three, the VA is head and shoulders the best of the three.

I don't dispute the economics or the fault of the companies and unions. I do, however, put much of the blame on the left for the bad economy, silly things like cafe standards etc. All designed to do us in as a Nation and bring down our industrial base. It worked. We have little base left, no...

I will say nothing, this is not the SoapBox. Everything is beautiful, in it's own way................ Kumbia, my lord, Kumbia..................

Yeah, I know all about that international company stuff. Can't trust another country to build our tanks etc. if it ever comes to that again. Getting rid of our industrial base to eliminate us as a military power has long been a goal of the left. It looks like they won that one too.

I think that global warming is being cause by all of those blowhard politicians world wide, spouting their useless mouths off. Talk about hot air!! With no known benefit either!! At least cows produce more than methane!! LOL!!! :rolleyes: Besides hot air, all politicians produce is BS!!! :mad:

You are most likely right Greg, but keep in mind, you can't trust a rattlesnake and this congress and administration is stocked full of molting rattlesnakes. They also have little respect for our Constitution. The only reason that it most likely not pass is that they are afraid of not getting...

First off, it is for new hearing aids that are fit to my ears. They would not have them anywhere else. The appointment is to get them fitted and calibrated. Second, hang on to your hat, the VA hospitals are not interconnected. They are just now experimenting with being able to look up records...

We have no native birds left around here at all. The quail are gone too. The loss of the quail disturbs me more since they are native to Michigan. Not many rabbits left either. Small game does not do well living on a pool table. Game needs cover and there is none left around here. What a shame...

I would have loved to have changed that appointment, but the VA is no very good about it. The next one available was in June. I really need the hearing aids. It is getting hard to hear. I will keep better track of dates from now on. Don't want to make this stupid mistake again. We are staying...

Thanks for all the input. We found a motel with a large lot, security, cameras and a night guard in the lot. The price includes 7 days free parking, 1 nights stay and shuttle to and from the airport. When you add up the cost of the tickets and the park and fly it comes to less than the fuel...

Yeah, Bush and Cheney at it again, eh? LOL!!:p

Now, that would make sense!!! LOL!! Where do we find that seagull, it deserves a medal!! LOL!!!

Nope, no way to explain that one away. And some in here say that we must respect the office. Why, the putz in it does not seem too. Amazing. He has no clue about proticol, does he?

Truckers pay a lot of fuel tax. That tax should all be used on the roads. We all know that it is not. It is used to fund all kinds of things that truckers seldom if ever use. We do not get the full benefit of the tax dollars we spend. If congress cannot spend the money where it should be spent...

Let's hope that they get their act together. The country needs a strong auto industry. It is vital to our defense. It is up to both union and management to get off their butts and fix this stuff. It is not that hard, you just have to want to fix it. Old habits die very hard. Everything got...

I don't doubt that some things change. They need to do a better job of getting the word out. The quality had better be there or saying that things are better and then falling down again will make it worse. I know that I am NOT impressed with my 2002 F250. I have had to get the front hubs...

Happy to hear that bad workers can be gotten rid of. That was always a problem. I could never understand why the UAW protected them. Seems to me that they would know that if the company failed, so did they. Seen a lot of that stuff at Great Lakes Steel when I worked there. Drunks, guys smoking...

We already carry a scanner and printer on the truck. Having a direct link to FedEx will make it better. We will still need to carry them, for other than FedEx work. Glad to hear about the 7/10th thing, one more question answered. I have mixed feelings about the E-logging, mainly because of...

We have no emergency this time, just a 2325 mile DH. The tickets are less than the fuel to run it. Other than the parking problem, security etc, the only other problem we can see is that we will be in L.A. when we get back. :(

Things can change, they need to. I remember the short while that I worked at Ford, the Wayne Assembly Plant in Wayne Mich. That was way back in 1969. I was not there long, Ford got rid of me when they found out that I had a 1A draft status and the UAW did not care since I was not a member yet...
