I think the part that makes me the angriest is that our president threatened to not pay the SS benefits if the debt ceiling wasn't raised. I am not retired but excuse me, who does he think he is telling me I can't have my money. I would rather not have SS and put the money into a retirement account that the government ...more

iowaresident, I am not saying there should be no welfare just as I believe we need the unemployment program. People fall on hard times and need assistance but I think there should be a time limit set and they should be required to be in a random drug screening program. The federal government requires all licensed comme...more

iowaresident, if tax dollars don't pay for welfare than does the money just fall from the sky. Or maybe Obama takes the money out of his own wallet, yeah right.

So it is not against the truck drivers rights when they have to take random drug tests? Ahhh, here we are at the typical that should apply to everyone else but myself. The truck drivers rights...more

I posted earlier that all automobile drivers should have to be in a random drug pool to keep their drivers license just like truck drivers have to do. I had people give that a thumbs down, would that be because those people could never pass a drug test and would loose their license? I think so! Some of these people tha...more

Wyo. cop you are the problem period. Motorcycle drivers with your mentality, truck driver with your mentality and car drivers with your mentality. You do not own the road what gives you the right to damage other people property because you have a god like complex. I guess typical spineless jerk. If you don't have balls...more
