It wasn't the trucking companies bring in drugs. It was the wet backs crossing through the holes in the borders and our own citizens smuggling the c rap.

Hey dummy Zeke. It's the sleazy Union bosses who are using the member's dues to have parties in high class resorts. It's the asinine contracts that have push the corporations into bankruptcy, the mining operations in the UP were shut down because of the burdens labor costs. It's the nitwits like you who think business is there only so you can have a job. So stupid, business is there so that they can make a profit for the owners or the stock holders. Jimmy Carter is a PROVEN FOOL. That quote shows that you are a moron to point out the biggest and most costly boondoggles to have ever been defecated by the statists who only wish to enslave the American worker. Those programs were made for dummies like you. Your ideas are hardly original Zeke, Karl Marx promised them first. You commie Marxist.

Live off of and enjoy what others have fought so hard to give YOU. Keep watching sponge bob you mindless idiot. next time you run into a union Brother or Sister u better thank them they are the ones that fought the wars against corporate greed, fought to keep jobs in our country, and they are the ones that built this great country. You have to admit when you look in the mirror it wasnt the likes of you that did anything. Inclosing"Every advance in this half-century-Social Security, civil rights, Medicare, aid to education, one after another-came with the support and leadership of American Labor." Jimmy Carter

The Unions are the ones that give our jobs away? U are so funny quit watching sponge Bob and start watching real tv. The unions were the ones that gave out BAD loan (AIG Merryl Lynch,Citi, thanks for setting me straight did not know that. Madoff took 50 billion dollar scheme what Union did he belomg to? Let me think Enron,MCI, Tyco,Adelphi, oh thats right the Unions broke them and thats why the most of the CEO are in prison, the Unions also gave Golden parachute to Home Depot CEO 230 million for the destruction of that business. Bonuses 0f 730 million to AIG for the destruction of the US economy the Unioms did that. Let me think of other BAD things the Unions did 40 hour work week, Healthcare for workers, Pensions for workers,Living Wage for workers,Overtime Pay, Safety,Labor Day, voice at their Jobs, Do you really have any original thoughts. I know the type of person u are you just go along do what u must at work to survive teach your children it is better do nothing

It's not the truckers or imports that have destroyed your jobs. It's the unions and the high costs of doing business in the country. Regulations that have created a burden and a 35% corporate tax rate has basically driven firms overseas. The Mexican trucks that were allowed in were probably safer and more scrutinized than our own trucks. The UP has been democrat and basically union shop thinkers for decades. What has it given you? Not a blessed thing but poverty and misery.

I hope that other people read our paper because I cant believe that 23 percent of the people in the circulation area are really this STUPID. You believe that the truckers should have access to our highways with their unsafe trucks their drug imports and the loss of more of our jobs come on UPPER MICHIGAN wake the*****up. I would like to know if any of you have even left the county???? I would like to say more but I dont believe people in the area would understand anyways.... Keep the imports coming in and we will lose Verso mill but that will be all right I guess looking at the parking lot lots of imports there too so why not buy foreign paper.
