Popular consensus has always been either "Everything moves by truck" or "Thank a trucker for everything you have."Well, it seems the truckers you're about to thank will soon likely be named Jesus, Pedro or Juan. That's right folks, Mexico is ready, willing and able to take over at least a portion of the long-haul trucking business in the U.S. Starting this Friday, in Laredo, Texas, Mexicans (only the legal ones of course) will commence "door-to-door" delivery. Maybe some of their initial cargo will be to return illegal arms given them by this government as shipments back to the U.S. BATF!
Citing job losses and (Sharky&Sharky's favorite words - "Safety Concerns"), both the Teamsters - one of the last bastions of good ole union organization - and politicians - who depend on sketchy votes and monetary campaign contributions from any and all lobbying efforts - have their collective panties in a wad.
"We're literally taking good jobs here in America and passing them over the line to Mexico" exclaimed U.S. Rep Duncan Hunter. Ya think? Yes the lovely NAFTA monster so coddled by President Bill Clinton has once again reared a Hydra head to bite the U.S. in the ass.
There seems to be no bounds to which this country is continuing to bankrupt and destroy a certain citizenry - the European-American - while rewarding every other population component with transferred wealth.
Sharky&Sharky continue to wonder where this once great country has gone. Unfortunately, we all now know where it is headed.
