Default what TOMORROW holds for the TRUCKING INDUSTRY by ky24

WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS

I for ONE think it brings HOPE and CHANGE that is much needed in OUR industry.
I also believe that with the change of power things will get better NO NOT OVER NIGHT but in the forseeable future. I give credit to the current administration for keeping our country safe while in the midst of battle. The incoming administration has kept aboard many of the safe calls put into place by PRESIDENT BUSH and I think PRESIDENT OBAMA will do the same in a effort to keep us safe .

Our ECONOMY is in shamble but we are headed in the right direction and I think PRESIDENT OBAMA will lead us into prosperity.

You may ask what does it have to do with us TRUCKERS but as the country rebounds from our ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN so will the FREIGHT VOLUME in which earns us all a living..

Stay hopeful and keep a POSITIVE attitude for what lies ahead for our country will be prosperus. AMERICA has come through more troubled times than now and as always it is AMERICAS TRUCKERS and the professionals in the TRUCKING INDUSTRY which keeps this country MOVING along our NATIONS HIGHWAYS .

TOMORROW there will still be TRUCKERS and still be FREIGHT to haul.

For all stay safe and keep in mind good times do lie ahead for us after TOMORROW....


TOMORROW... IS AN HISTORIC DAY and a TRUE TESTIMATE of just how FAR AMERICA has COME...

Obama, are you kidding me??? No matter how much things get worse, Obama will look like a saint because everyone will blame Bush for the next 4 years. And dont worry things will get worse. Our economy has been spoiled too long by credit. People have to get used to paying for stuff with cash, and I dont see that being a bad thing. But its gonna take a while for it to turn around. Also, there is one thing that can turn this thing around and thats to lower the tax rates for business, but thats not going to happen. All this bail out crap going on is doing is prolonging everything and making our kids and grand kids to clean it up for the next 50 years. Man dont get me started.......

Bush is not to blame for the CREDIT CRISIS
Anyone with half a brain would know that all this started back with CARTER. and CLINTON put the ICING on the CAKE.

This BUILD, BUILD, BUILD, mentality and folks putting stuff on CARDS to pay mortgages they could not afford this didnt start 4 years ago or 8 something like this take way more time .

Thanks for the reply

For the Recrod I am Not Democratc or GOP and did not VOTE for OBAMA so just so thats out there..

We never really cleaned up the mess from the Great Depression. What makes you think we can get this mess cleaned up in 50 years.

Just razzing a bit. I know what you meant.


History has a way of repeating itself and until man as a whole figures this out and chooses to learn from it we will continue to be on the treadmill going nowhere. More often than not greed is at the heart of the wrongs.

It is not the fault of any president, Carter Clinton Any of the Bush boys or even FDR for that matter when it comes to the home lending crisis.
The blame lies with in the lenders and the home buyer. When I bought my home here in Florida back in 98 I was offered an adjustable rate and took it as my obligation was high at the time due to a recent divorce however in two years I could refinance, and I jumped on it, anything that has an abiltiy to go up and down with the market, is going to at some point, Do the basic math, ask questions and then realize if your mortgage has a chance of going up by $800 a month why would you take the gamble??? So blame the homeowner who failed to properly do their homework or took a chance and rolled the dice, and the lenders who suckerd many many people into the American dream....
But to blame the president for this is just not reality, this comes from one who thinks that Bush is a total idiot who got through life on his father's coat tails but still it is not his fault.

this election is overrated... the way the news has been covering it, I would not be surprised if Jesus, Elvis and Abe Lincoln showed up for the inauguration, and the original Beatles played a concert afterwards.

Either way, bigger government is not the answer. And thats what Obama wants, bigger government. People think that the government has all the answers and they dont. And the government did start this home lending crisis with the dems pushing these lenders to give loans to people that they knew cant afford them. The bigger government gets the less freedom we get. Before we know it, its going to be like England and you are going to be told what car to buy, and what temp to set your thermostat to.

carterbeauford --

It's not "overrated" at all.

http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/01/20/roff_obama_inauguration/

We do it without tanks in the streets. Actually, I'm not all that interested in the inauguration, and maybe that's what you meant (that you're not interested either), but any time a new American president is sworn in, history's being made. A lot of people gave all so we could do this.

And . . . I don't think Elvis is coming back. He really has left the building.

I signed a truth in lending paper as well, it was required. I knew what I was getting into, I also researched all of my options. Nobody held guns to these peoples heads and forced them to sign. True they wanted the dream and maybe felt like they could keep their end of the deal. In the end every person on this earth is responsible for them selves and the choices they make.
