My guys used to keep two sets of books.
BTTT
"the nationwide network of NATFA superhighways that are planned to run from Mexico to Canada"
The illegals are currently hampered in their invasion by less-than-adequate roadways?
"dividing the United States into economic and social districts."
I guess that old constitutional idea of the country being a union of sovereign states doesn't much appeal to our internationalist leaders.
Screw Bush, Perry, and anyone else pushing this idiotic plan. I don't want to be more closely connected to Mexico (or to Canada for that matter). I want to be more isolated from them.
bump.
One set for the feds and one set to determine wages?
Yes.
No, purely for hours. If they were checked, they would hide one and show the other. Both would be under the limit.
I wonder, do the Feds actually have the authority to regulate truckers' hours under the Commerce Clause?
You know, now that I think about it, I wonder why the Feds never caught on. All they would have had to do is check paystubs. Or maybe not, if the driver argued he was paid for sleeping? I honestly don't know . . . it wasn't my department, and the moment I caught whiff of it I stopped asking questions.
I doubt that the promise was cash.
I can't imagine the authority coming from anything else.
You will respect their AUTHORI-TAY!
If it doesn't fit anywhere else, the Commerce Clause will usually do the trick.
Hmm...trucks carrying cargo on interstate roads...gosh that looks like interstate commerce to me.
Surprisingly you don't argue that NAFTA is eliminating self government of the American people, so that part must be accurate.
But you are also wrong when you claim it was the Clinton admninistration. From YOUR source:
President Clinton postponed implementation of NAFTA cross-border trucking provision,
and
In February 2001, the Bush Administration announced it would fully comply with NAFTA obligations regarding truck and bus access
Why must you be deceitful?
And I mean U.S. Supreme Court challenges, not double-secret NAFTA tribunal stuff.
