For the same reason Pelosi and her crew screeched at GWB for gas prices during his presidency. Democrats love the nanny state as it keeps them in office.
Duck and Cover Skippy, Your being hit from all sides here. Helps when your offering rants like yours to know, you would be better off slamming your own head in a car door. Are you at all aware the Diesel Fuel prices are over 4.50 a gallon.
And 4.17 national average. With two 150 gallon saddle tanks the cost of fueling would be 1251.00. Then with the new tax factors being added in another 1.00 on top of that per gallon.
No matter what the commodity that trucker is hauling it just cost you more to purchase it. Most of the Indepedent haulers in this Country do east to west coast turn arounds. These are called hot shot loads.
The fuel for a one way trip from NJ to Cal. Would run you approximately 4600.00. Can you afford that skippy, Or are you just good at running your progressive mouth.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
