The economy is starting to boom. When oil prices go up, the economy booms. We're getting ready for the next recession. The DOW has already hit 13000. This is the same thing that happened to us 4 years ago. The people with all the money are getting ready to see who the next President will be.....Election years are always interesting.

If you're lucky enough here to get a Saturday linehaul run, you get mileage plus straight time for hook/drop time. All time paid on a 265 (l/h pay form) is straight time.

Its coming,round two......Sad thing is,our Government doesnt give a rats ass about it,or us....people think it was bad the last time,wait,this is gonna be even worse....watch.....

Gas jumped almost 57 cents here in Chicago in a 2 week span and there is no sign of it stopping....Once we hit the prices of Europe then they will halt the price spikes..at least thats what our head of energy department has stated..He,along with our fearless leader in the White House have stated many times they want to see gas at the same levels as Europe,and it looks like they are getting their way....Obamas plan to lower emissions is to sky rocket gas prices to keep people from driving...BUT he seems to forget it will dump his so called raising economy right back down and below levels we have seen in the last couple years....People think foreclosure,cost of living and unemployement was high then??????Wait................

You should be,we all should be....Problem is,The guy in the big White House is destroying this country faster than a crack who*e running from a re-hab center...If he cared one bit about this country then he would be doing something besides patting himself on the back for Obama care and fighting for free contraceptives for all women....besides that,he hasnt done jack and has the nerve to think he will get re-elected...It surprises me that nobody has taken a shot at him yet..

See here's the thing, in his mind he HAS done a lot. He's accomplishing the liberal goal of making this country into a European socialist nanny state. It's not that he doesn't give a rip about us, this is what the man WANTS. Hoax and chains...
