What's even more disturbing is most independent truckers aren't being 
reimbursed for the extra fuel costs and many who are getting 
reimbursement say they are still losing money on fuel costs.
Why? It's simple, retailers and merchants are raising prices through the 
roof because people no longer question anything other than regulations 
which may curb this kind of activity and paying taxes.
I hope everyone who votes for politicians who preach I'm gonna cut your 
taxes, free trade, and let free market policies determine the price
of everything enjoy it when they pull their heads out of their ***** and 
see what they have voted on themselves and now have to live with.
It will be even more painful when the paper millionaires see their 
millions disappear as it did in 1929 when greed and corruption was 
rampant with big business tycoons calling the white house and dictating 
government policy as is happening today with Georgie and Wall Street.
As the old cliche goes be careful what you preach and wish for as you may 
get it.
