Dysregulation will put most mom-and-pop small business trucking companies into bankruptcy

[Mr. Douglas]

...the owners of these vehicles will actually save money...

---

Kinda like all the money obamacare saved us.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Imposing fuels mileage standards on heavy duty trucks is about as stupid as it gets.

[HarleyLady27]

ALL Truckers: Go on a week vacation...drop your trailers where they are suppose to be, if you own your rig, take it home, if not, get a way home...shut down the roads, no truckers, no food, no parts, no nothing...

Yes, it will hurt us, but if this half baked idea gets through, it’s going to hurt us more...

Shut ‘er down baby!!!

[mjp]

the regulation will increase the cost

Regulations destroy the economy by increasing costs and by the diversion of capital from its most productive use. The increase in costs and the diversion of capital reduce total productive ability, which lowers productivity of labor, which lowers average real wage rates, which lowers the standard of living of the average worker.

The same government publishing these crushing regulations are more than happy to welcome rolling death traps from mexico on our country’s roads.

[abclily]

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

[meatloaf]

What they’re not saying is nothing currently produced complies with the new requirements. It’s pie in the sky.

[Amendment10]

Patriots beware!

With all due respect to mom & pop, please consider the following.

If the parents of the owners of trucking companies had made sure that their children were taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, and associated limited power to appropriate taxes, as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood, then truckers would be able to argue the followng against the constitutionally undefined EPA’s likewise unconstitutional regulation concerning trucks.

The states never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constituiton, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for environmental issues.

• “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Note that even if the states had expressly constitutionally granted the feds such powers, the Founding States had given the responsibility for regulating, taxing and spending uniquely to Congress, not faceless federal bureaucrats such as those running the constitutionally undefined EPA.

Consider that the EPA is just one of the many “useful idiot” federal agencies that corrupt Congress has unconstitutonally established to hide behind in blatant defiance of the Constitution’s Section’s 1-3 of Article I.

in other words, corrupt lawmakers are wrongly letting non-elected federal bureaucrats outside the legislative branch steal and exercise legislative branch powers so that these bureaucrats can do Congress’s unpopular and unconstitutional legislative work for it. And by having outsiders do its dirty work for it, lawmakers can keep their voting records clean so that they can fool low-information patriots into reelecting them.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs as evidenced by the EPA truck regulation.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

[The Great RJ]

This is BS. Can heavy trucks meeting these ridiculous standards even be manufactured with current technology? To meet these standards it may well be likely to both make trucks smaller and reduce their load capacity. So more trucks will be needed to move the same loads. How will this reduce total emissions if more trips are required?

[justa-hairyape]

Government regulations do not benefit society. They never have and never will. You cannot produce gain from loss.

[freedomtrail]

Teamster Vote.

[eyeamok]

OOD, Then CONgress should subpoena the HEAD of the EPA to Testify, and Force her to READ THE ENTIRE REGULATIONS IN TO THE PUBLIC RECORD, WITHOUT PAUSE OR BREAK.

When She Refuses or can’t comply, JAIL HER FOR CONTEMPT!!!

“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”

Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”

Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!

Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)

If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.

Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.

Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.

In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
