Maybe, but if I were to debate someone, my preference would be to have someone in a related field such as expedite, verses say a group of (fill in the blank). The camaraderie just isn't the same as proven by years on this forum.

OMG....I leave for a couple of days and look at all the madness.;) Seriously, this is the "soapbox" . Which is by its very nature a exchange of ideas and opinions whether political or otherwise. It is a avenue for expediters to share opinions on a variety of subjects and to kill time while...

Take your latest example. They (liberals) want to extend unemployment. They again, want to borrow to do it. Nothing complicated. Yep.....it is a liberal thing. They of course would want everyone with a job to pay for that, but oops...we are tying up their money and extra new taxes on Obamacare.

That is what the (mainly liberals) can't their head around. They want the quick feel good experience, and when we continually borrow, they are stepping on the poor a little harder. Politicians are looking for the next vote rather than 5 or 10 years down the road.

On a smaller scale, Illinois is a perfect example of out of control debt. They are spending a billion and a half per year just to service the debt. That is quite a lot of interest payments that they get nothing for. The idea to "just keep borrowing" does come with a price. At some point, those...

Within the body of the Wiki information, some (liberals) are saying it wasn't the government, and the right says otherwise. The first clue should be that Fanny and Freddie are broke and are in need of another bailout. That is not the banking industry although they certainly do have their...

It depends on whether the bearings in the turbo were affected. They can test it to find that out. If the vehicle has a lot of miles then you may want to replace it anyways.

Certainly seemed to be living ok. Didn't seem to have a problem paying for his partying or his musical equipment. Seemed to be happy that he was able to scam the system with ease. No requirements at all other than reapplying ever year and get his check. These stories are knee deep through the...

Very true. To eliminate that problem is why you put time limits on this stuff or make them work for the benefits if they want them after a certain period of time. Plenty of non-skilled jobs available they could do if they want a endless cycle of collecting from the taxpayers.

Out of the "free stuff" they can get, what would you say is misrepresented? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP_izYhdehY

That is only looking at welfare and not the other free stuff they get. Like subsidized housing, utilities, subsidized food, cable, free internet, free medical, discount transportation, free cell phones, and the list goes on. This is how you have people on welfare shopping for 200 shoes, have x...

Are you sure? Maine governor says welfare benefits used at bars, strip clubs, smoke shops | Fox News

If just looking at social security, you are correct in that people pay in to that program. The problem is they take out much more than they put in. You also have disability claims running at a all time high. With less people working, it is amazing how so many suddenly become disabled. The...

I believe that has been the case for years. If not, they would have had a agreement between the two long ago. Of course that seems to be always left out.

And that would be wrong. You are borrowing and printing money for that $350 that your kids will have to pay back. That is why we are 17.3 TRILLION dollars in debt. But you are correct in that we waste money like crazy on foolish programs here and abroad.

Truck looks like it still has a lot of life left. Sadly, many of those trucks take a hit in the value department because of California Carb. Just another place that government costs people money for no apparent benefit. Good luck on the sale.

One doesn't want to have a TT mentality when doing this. One can run 5k a week and have little to show for it. One can do 3k with several expedite carriers and still make respectable money.

That is the problem. Too much government and "free stuff". SS and medicare are turning into problems because we are now robbing those programs to pay for Obamacare. It will be the same for medicaid. That is why many states opted out. The program is expanded in states that wanted the immediate...

Government did too much with their "everyone must be able to own a home". Through the Clinton administration they changed the underwriting of loans through Fannie & Freddie. That forced banks to write loans on for people that didn't come close to qualifying. You had people on tv home programs...

As mentioned, if unemployment stimulates the economy as suggested, would the economy improve if more people were on it? Just not how it works. Some money gets moved around, but in reality it is very little. What are we doing? We are borrowing from our kids or future generations. We don't have...
