Why climb a fence when you can take a highway? How many times would you have to be hit in the head to think that’s a good idea? And just to sweeten the deal George signed a pilot project to let Mexican truckers drive nationwide on America’s highway and after a year he can decide whether to make it permanent or not . Pass the hammer! I wonder which way he will decide? Pass the hammer!

 

 

Yuck yuck a few thousand American truckers will lose their jobs and homes but the markets are strong enough to take it! Pass the hammer!
 

In my fifty years on earth I have worked on the road and I have traveled not to every state but it’s easier to name the ones I haven’t visited. Everywhere with out exception I have met nice people good people decent people. I’ve never been broke down on the side of road where someone didn’t stop to help and I’ve never slept outside if someone could help it. I never heard anyone of them express a desire to enrich themselves at the expense of one of their neighbors.

So, when I hear 2.1 million will lose their homes I wonder? Are those people I have known, that were kind to me? Will we as Americans do something about a government that treats them no better than cattle in a stockyard? Or will we just wait for our hammer? As for me I’ll take my bullet please.
