"...dividing the United States into economic and social districts."
I must have missed the election that asked the citizens of the USA whether they wanted to be divided into "economic and social districts." Silly me...I thought we were divided into states, but I guess the central planners at the UN and their lap dogs in DC have other plans for us tax drones.
The way I see it, the only election we have that will tell our keepers how much we hate this usurpation of our sovereignty is to start voting out any politician who promotes this power grab. And that means voting Gov. Goodhair of TX out of office in November.
This post does not address your purposely false statement.
What, that you are a shill for Public Citizen?
It is a fact many truckers doctor their books in order to increase their driving time.
From a plaintiff law firm specializing in truck accidents....
....The Federal regulations that are most important to prosecuting a trucking case are found under the Code of Federal Regulations title 49 sections 390 through 396. A number of states including Texas have adopted these Federal regulations or similar regulations. Some of the Federal regulations found under 40 C.F.R. §§ 390-396 regulate such things as qualifications of drivers; hours of service of drivers; and inspection, repair, and maintenance.Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulationsare designed to protect motorists from the negligent actions of truck drivers and trucking companies. For example, to prevent driver fatigue, truckers can’t drive for more than 10 hours in a 24-hour period. There also are rules dealing with the proper loading of materials and safety rules when passing other vehicles and on traveling speeds. Truckers are required to keep logs of their driving time and trucking companies are required to keep maintenance records. Most modern trucks also have GPS devices that show, down to the minute, how fast the driver was going and how quickly they came to a stop. By comparing the GPS records with the driver’s logbook, we can find discrepancies between driver logbooks and GPS records.
You need to stay away from the TTC threads.
Loop 12?

I wonder when Loop 12 was built. 1940s?
From what I've read about this so called Super Highway, it's starting in Texas alright, then will come right up following I35, which will cut my state of Iowa in two, right down the middle.
From the first time I read about this scheme, the thing that blared out to me was the fact that NO ONE is going to get to vote on this evil plan. It's an "agreement" between Bush, Fox and the PM of Canada, all being done under the radar, not to come up before the people. I don't trust Congress,I don't know that they've had any input to this, but if they have, the whole damned bunch needs to be brought up on treason charges. We'd better face up to the fact that our nation is being run by huge international corporations and the gov., whether it's Democrat or Republican, for the most part has sold their soul to the devil for the almighty dollar.
The land that is condemned is not paid for by tolls. It is paid for by the taxpayers. You have a sequencing issue. You have to condemn it first, before the toll road can even be built.
If there is in my lifetime a North American Union, I am going to run for the North American Parliament....and become a hellraiser of the first order. Sort of like the handful of courageous anti-European Union MEP's.
Keep Texas Roads Toll Free!!!
These folks must be in the dark about the "Big Dig" Boston Style and how to funnel $15,000,000 dollars into a hole in the ground.
Minus the FEES of the Builderburghers in charge.
I see some of the same names.
