Federal agencies sent a proposed rule on heavy-truck speed limiters to the White House Office of Management and Budget on Tuesday, May 19. Small-business truckers remain against a government mandate for the devices, saying that forcing trucks to drive slower than the normal flow of traffic will have serious unintended consequences for highway safety.

The proposed rule by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is based on a petition filed in 2006 by the American Trucking Associations and Roadsafe America to create a new standard under federal motor carrier regulations.

Why do we even need to argue facts in cases like this?

How about "We say no, we're 2 million strong, and we vote"?

Politicians don't really give a crap about the facts anyway. They only care about their next reelection.
 
Y'know, once...just once.... I'd dearly love for the "evil rich" companies and corporations stand up to whatever government and say " NO, enough!!! We've had it with you. We're hereby going to close all of our facilities nation wide and move everything to a place where they will be happy to see us. You can deal with all the newly unemployed and the bankrupt outfits that used to sell to us. Sucks to be you".
