As we all have figured out by now our government is corrupt. It has been that way for a very long time now. Laws are written daily to meet the needs of the Corporations while stifling small business owners and individuals.

State your thoughts of what corruption pisses you off the most. I can be local, state, or federal (the worst one of all).

In the modern era, who pissed away the anti trust law? Slick Willy?

I've almost come to the conclusion that the swamp dwellers can have their phony bolony jobs if they would leave me the fuck alone. I'm guilty of not doing my civic duty and making myself heard by my law makers. Until the ELD. The response I got from my Senators told me they know nothing about what I do.

So you are saying that the four people who plead guilty to crimes did so because they support Trump?

I was raised pretty liberal. My whole family has been, since the beginning of the two party system. I've converted over. I've never seen a group (liberals) claim to be so powerfully in favor of helping disadvantaged people....but for their actions to clearly only help a select few wealthy people. Honestly I'm sick of both sides. I think most of them are immoral crooked buttheads. But locally in my state the conservatives have at least pretended to care. Also on a side note, thanks to eld, I've drove 5mph faster than I normally do and busted my butt for two days to make up for a delay, wow, I sure do feel safer than if I would have fudged an hour or two on paper...(sarcasm)

More and more corruption continues. Big business buying the lawmakers to write laws in their favor. Too big to fail bailous, raise the taxes but give very little in return to the people. Just follow the money trail and you will find the corruption.

Yep, now that us truckers are finally making money, here comes the gooberment to mess with the laws of supply and demand, by changing the HOS. Can't have those truckers making money. Funny how FMCSA said there was nothing wrong with the current HOS model, until rates shot up with the ELD? Now suddenly it's a big crisis and Ray Martinez is begging us truckers for support to change them? When Wall Street speaks, the gimps in congress listen, or else!

Follow the money is right. The best example is drug prices. It is illegal to order prescriptions from Canada or elsewhere. When you Google Canadian pharmacies you get results that talk about the dangers of ordering from foreign sources. When you dig into who is behind these sites you find that the American pharmaceutical lobby is behind it. Canada is not some third world country; they have a regulatory board that oversees pharmaceuticals just like we do. The only difference is that they dont allow the drug companies to gouge their citizens like the US does. You want to know how corrupt our government is? Even though it's illegal to import prescription drugs they will allow you to order up to a 90 day supply of maintenance prescriptions through the mail. REALLY!! these Canadian pharmacies are dangerous but it is okay to get a 90 day supply of DANGEROUS prescriptions (many made by American companies). They do this because it keeps the noise level down so that those who are pissed off enough about it have a way to get the lower priced medicine and not raise a stink. To add insult to injury big Pharma has also co-opted the credit card industry by having them refuse to process credit card transactions for foreign prescriptions. So you have to mail them a check and wait for it to clear before they send your medicine. All this in the hope that you will be frustrated by the process and knuckle under to their price gouging. It doesnt stop me however, I pay 10-20% of U.S. prices by getting them from Canada. If the American people ever woke up to how they are being screwed over then there would be hell to pay by politicians from both parties. That's why the media and the right and left in this country love to keep us arguing about Trump and Hillary and any nonsense that diverts our attention.

That may be the most intelligent comment ever posted on this forum.

and yet american companies are allowed to flood their american markets with meds that are highly addicitive and used widely in the illicit drug culture. thousands of prescription meds are dumped into selling areas where it would take a normal population 10 years to use.......and yet they are sold within months....something is terribly wrong.

So where does insurance money go? In 2014 my twin daughters were born premature. We spent alot of time in the hospital before birth and after they were born. Insurance for those two girls was 1500 a month, which we couldn't pay, due to missing alot of work. Thought we'd try Obamacare...denied coverage because we didn't make enough money. How does this happen in civilized countries. Who has all that money I paid in?

It came out today that there was colusion between the EPA, and a non American truck manufacturer, to rig a study against glider kits. And the best part is that the EPA is investigating itself, at the request of two congressmen. Yep, there is no conflict of interest here. In the words of tricky Dicky, I am not a crook. Bahhahaha
