How sad. It would be nice if the American people understood that this is OUR money they're spending. Money that WE work for and they just piss away like it's nothing.
And Buttigig gets all those funds to distribute. What could go wrong?
And unfortunately, this is the fallacy most people think. It's NOT our money. It is the banks money. Which bank? Any bank. All banks. The Central Bank, (the FED). Since all currency, money, in circulation is the result of a loan, hence, the reason it's called debt money, the bankers own that currency. The United States does not issue it's own money anymore, since 1913 private international bankers took over that role. Therefore it is not our money. Even the money in your bank account is not your money, it belongs to banks, because somewhere along the line, banks lent out that money sitting in your account

Only the fiat money, if you have gold or silver coins those belong to you.If I may ...

What's being spent is YOUR labor, and your future labor, and your children and grandchildren's future labor, and mandatory taxes/fees, to pay back this currency created out of thin air and its requisite interest payments that suck more money out of the system when 'repaid' than that was created in the first place.
Our money? Too funny, that We the People, as a Sovereign Nation, don't own even our own currency. Let that sink in.
Yup.Only the fiat money, if you have gold or silver coins those belong to you.
You've got to consider the source, bless his heart.Did I hear from Biden's talk in Baltimore that their way of solving the supply problem was to lower the CDL license age from 21 to 18 .?
There's enough crazy driving truckers on highways to allow 18 yr olds a try.
At 18, they can vote, they can die serving their country, and they should be allowed to drink a beer if they want to.
I don't have a problem with 18 year old's driving trucks.
I only see it as a stop gap measure just to make people think he's doing something about it . His problem will be getting some to do it, and how long it will take them to train and be ready.
That raises a great point that I see little discussion of in Washington DC...the severe congestion on key transportation routes. More than a decade ago, Congress and MARAD/DoT started working on ways to improve/streamline/grow the "maritime highway" system. Smaller and more numerous ports to facilitate container handling that is now concentrated in a few larger ports, specialized high speed modular container-carrying vessels - "Sea trains":..that would move containers up and down the East coast to the smaller feeder ports to offload I-95 truck traffic, well-designed transportation "nodes" where truck, rail, air and sea transport modes would intersect and be supported efficiently. etc etc...You are right of course, but then eventually it will put more drivers on the road.

Congress passed a "Marine Highways" bill and started the initial studies with some very measly funding levels and never followed up any of it after that.
