Life has gotten much harder for everyone in North America. Although the truckers may be wrong about how they are approaching the problem, no one should take their sacrifice nor their role in commerce for granted.
Many people in North America have become complacent and apathetic with the bureauacracies in power and trust them without scrutiny. More and more companies are outsourcing everyday, and the foundation of our economy is disappearing - by foundation, I mean the factory workers, truck drivers, computer personnel, etc. Other countries are competing for YOUR jobs, yet the leaders could care less to promote higher education to compete with the new influx of outsourcing.
They focus on things like social security and steroids - I just want to know, "What will happen when there are less jobs, so less and less people (workers, truckers, factory workers - i.e. THE FOUNDATION)are paying into the ever important social security program?" No jobs = no money = economic depression
