We do that now. Just also any illegal alien. They get free medical, housing assistance, food stamps etc. It's only the working class that has to pay.

Press 1 for English. It's our own fault.

I've decided to start riding my motorcycle to work once it warms up. Should be able to do that 4-5 days a week for six or seven months of the year. At 40 MPG, I'll save $120 a month or so that way in fuel alone, not to mention lower cost of maintenance, etc.

PS. The station that was $3.99 a gallon for diesel over the weekend was $4.29 this AM.

I really think the trucking industry needs to get involved. Park ALL the trucks on the side of the road for a week and see what happens...

Seeing how 98% percent of everything "sold at market" travels by truck, it should serve as a wake-up call to the d@mn politicians...

Not that this would really ever happen, but it would certianly be more effective than gas station boycotts.
