at least people are told the economy's getting better.

 

 

"Arrow Trucking ceased operations yesterday evening. Drivers got a message on their satellite link that the company is dead and fuel cards were shot off. Drivers were told to take their trucks to the nearest truck dealership (Freightliner, Kenworth, or International) and they would receive a bus ticket.

 

Arrow had a fleet of over 1,500 trucks.

 

No paycheck. Every load abandoned. Drivers stuck wherever they were. Even if a driver wanted to use his own money for fuel, the carrier's insurance was terminated and their operating authority may or may not have been revoked.

 

Drivers I spoke to on the CB yesterday evening were trying to sell anything they could - straps, chains, binders, tarps, lights, tires - just to get the money to get home."

"Senate OK's health care bill in victory for Obama (AP) "

 

"In an epic struggle settled at dawn, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed health care legislation Thursday, a triumph for President Barack Obama that clears the way for compromise talks with the House on a bill to reduce the ranks of the uninsured and rein in the insurance industry."

 

 

The title of these proclamations couldn't be more accurate...............victory "for the president", triumph "for the president"................

oddly enough I thought the president was there "for the people", "for America", not for himself, but this is exactly what it's all about, it's all about what the president wants, what the liberals want, not what the people of America they're supposed to represent want.

 

It's only a victory for the president and those who want to control the people of this country, it's a big disgraceful raping loss to the people.

It's wise mind you to consider that the political elite in congress and senate will not be subject to this health care as you and I and everyone else will be, they'll have the best.
