What the media and the pols are ignoring is that the economy is reaching critical mass.
IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT
Get that drilled into your heads.
No one is reporting on what's happening to the trucking industry. Truckers and trucking companies are dropping like flies.
Hundreds have folded in the last few weeks - where there was a great shortage of truckers, the industry is now flooded with out of work drivers and parked trucks.
There are -= were - some 6,000 trucking co.s in the US - now, even some of the top 100 are folding. And even JB Hunt, a giant among giants, has pulled hundreds of their solo driver off and into running team driving, like it or not. Trucking is a hard life, living on the road, their living space the size of a small bathroom.
Solo, you at least sleep in a still truck and aren't sharing your little cave 24/7 with someone else. Team driving means that truck rolls nearly 24/7 and you sleep in a rocking truck, praying the other driver doesn't get into an accident.
The big companies lease trucks to their contracted drivers - usually on a 6-month basis, and their lease yards normally have revolving trucks as drivers continually end or start a lease and choose another truck. 6 months ago, the lease yards would be relatively slim pickings for choices as the turned in trucks were leased right out again,
Now, the lease yards are choked - as more and more drivers have gone belly up with the fuel prices.
We haven't felt the results of all this too much yet in the stores - but it is coming and if something drastic isn't done NOW - we will. And it ain't gonna be pretty folks.
Most people are blissfully unaware, for example, that the stores = like the supermarkets - have ONLY about 2 days of stock on the shelves. If the trucks stop rolling - those shelves are bare in 2 days. First will come the slow down on deliveries and our stores will look like the days of Communist Russia, with sparse goods on the shelves and long lines...
And Humpty Dumpty doesn't get put back together in a hurry.
This is the first layer of consequences from an encroaching Marxist takeover orchestrated by the Marxists, aka democrats, in DC. They have even let the cat out of the bag by saying out loud that they intend to Nationalize the oil companies - that would soon follow with the trucking industry and all other major businesses.
Fasten your seat belts, folks. It ain't gonna be pretty.
Dig in a get the Marxists out now, or get ready to live under Marxism/Communism.
Anyone who spouts the foolish tripe about letting the Marxist candidate in now and then we can regain control in 2012 is either a naive fool or an outright Marxist. If they get the WH this time - the Constitution will be null and void, the Electoral College will be no more (anybody been listening for the past 8 years? They have stated, again and again, that this is their goal. To kill the EC would nullify red states voters. The Founding Fathers knew that without the protection of the EC, the big city voters would decide elections.)
I pray God protects us - altho' with the things we have allowed to happen in this country, I sometimes wonder why He would bother.
AMEN to that brother:-()
