According to The Trucker, The U.S. Department of Transportation will make no attempt to stop Sen. Byron Dorgan’s effort to kill the Cross Border Demonstration Project.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has indicated he will not stand in the way of Dorgan’s efforts. Asked whether LaHood was in favor of letting the project die, a DOT spokesman declined comment. (What a pussy)
How the elimination of the project will impact the North American Free Trade Agreement is uncertain. Officials at the Commerce Department, which oversees NAFTA, declined comment.
Let me clue you in! From talks I have had with participants on both sides of the border, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
Pull funding, you pull funding for the new inspection facilities and additional commercial vehicle inspectors which will impact safety and cost American jobs.
If Mexico decided to throw up tariff’s, which they have the legal right to do (and which we fully support) watch the cost of your goods rise!
And watch for potential legal actions and injunctions once this is signed into law!
They talk about the “arrogance” of the former administration, in fulfilling our obligations under NAFTA, what about the arrogance of that little piss ant Dorgan who appears to have Hoffa’s verga lodged firmly in his throat!
And that is my final word until the lawsuits begin!
