If You Bought It a Truck Brought It

Today, the truckers descended in Washngton, D.C. -- in their trucks. Oy, the gridlock. But that is normal. :) They were here to protest the high price of gas. You think you got it bad filling up your car, try filling up an 18-wheeler. Some of them are barely hanging on. The companies are passing on the high price of gas to the consumers, but not reimbursing the truckers like they should. Something needs to be done about that. Something also has to be done about the price of gas. Their plan to cap gas at $2 just won't work. Price freezing just creates inflationery pressures. But, McCain's plan to repeal the gas tax temporarily should help. Even 50-80 cents less a gallon wold be nice, while still letting the gas station owner (not the gas company itself) make a profit. Any other ideas? remember, all the stuff sitting on the store shelves was brought to that store in a truck. There is literally no other way to get the stuff from the distribution point to the actual store. So, something needs to be done.
