As the World Spins

As the World Spins

It been calm recently since the opposition has it in their mind that the Mexican Pilot Program has been stopped.

But for others, the spin continues with the same baseless and outrageous claims they have used to hoodwink a segment of America into believing what they have to say

It has been an exciting debate in which opponents of Mexican trucking have cited underage Mexican truckers and their lack of driving skills, their lack of sobriety, their use of drugs, their long hours without sleep; smuggling of illegals; hauling of illegal substances; horrendous traffic jams; driving violations; damage to highway infrastructure; a lack of front-to-back inspection, and faulty equipment.

And what about motorists’ insurance? The uninsured Mexican trucks would cause a myriad of insurance problems to Americans including skyrocketing car insurance rates.

Another issue was the impact the Mexican trucks would have on our truckers, our teamsters in the United States. It would cost American truckers their jobs through lower wages paid to the Mexican truckers.

In the midst of the debate came a fiery collision in Mexico that occurred between two trucks carrying highly combustible chemicals that killed more than two dozen people.

They still don’t get it do they, but the American people are beginning to. Daily, this site receives news releases from mainstream news sources who are questioning the validity of the oppositions claims. And I’m loving it!

So continue with the lies folks because somewhere there is someone who will believe you while those of us with common sense and a mind to think on our own will continue to search for and post the truth.
