Money To Burn; Obama's EPA Pays to Upgrade Mexican Trucks So They Can Enter US

Red White Blue News 4/12/2011: The day the government passed the Stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown, we learned the U.S was giving $20 million to Pakistan to help them start Sesame Street. Now, since we have all this extra money, team Obama has decided to pay $1600 per truck to replace the old mufflers with new catalytic converters reducing harmful diesel emissions by up to 30%...."Free Trade" Isn't so "free" after all.
Gateway Pundit: The fact that Obama's EPA is punishing US industry with a slew of new business-killing regulations is one thing... The fact that Obama's EPA is paying the Lung Association to defeat Republicans is something else... But, this takes the cake... Obama's EPA is upgrading Mexican trucks so they can travel and do business in the US.

Corruption Chronicles reported, via Doug Ross: A judicial watch blog
In the latest effort to accommodate its cherished trade partner in the south, the U.S. government is paying to upgrade outdated Mexican trucks that hemorrhage illegal amounts of exhaust on their trips north to deliver merchandise.
The Mexican trucks enter the U.S. under a 17-year-old international trade pact known as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and they've created an air pollution crisis. The air quality in border towns has been especially impacted by the exorbitant levels of exhaust released by the Mexican trucks, which also fail to meet American safety standards.
Since the Mexican truckers have no intention of fixing the problem, Uncle Sam has stepped in to save the environment. U.S. taxpayers have picked up the cost to replace old mufflers on dozens of trucks and many more are scheduled to be upgraded by the middle of this year. The unbelievable story was reported this week by an Arizona newspaper that says replacing the old mufflers with new catalytic converters will reduce harmful diesel emissions by up to 30%.
This radical government agency is doing all it can to destroy US business but they're helping Mexican truckers?... Something is terribly wrong with this administration.

  • It's like this in Canada! I don't hear anything on the news about Pakis and Polacks taking truck and bus driving jobs here, thus stealing food out of our mouths!

    I don't hear the Teamsters or UTU giving a vegas fuck about that issue! It's only people like us who work in the transport indurstry, or are gonna work there in the future who bitch about it, but in the end can't do anything about it because some bankster wants more money!

    Ontario's screwed! Our politicians send all jobs to Quebec

  • i just went down there to video the condition of those trucks. i put the videos on youtube. your so right on the money here.

  • Obama ,democrats, and the repubs just shit on all American truckers. If they can't outsource your jobs, then they will import cheaper labor. Both the dems and the repubs are waging economic war on the American working man. The teamsters union is a sham, they don't care about our jobs. The unions lost their way long ago. now instead caring about our jobs, they care about social justice and workers of the world. I saw it in timber,manufacturing,mining,fa­rming, now trucking. RIP USA

  • It is done ....

  • It's your opinion, but Sir, know your facts, know the business in the Truck Industry, know the people in the border, and go see what we do for you country as well...We do not take your jobs sir, we are NOT bad people, It's sad how's Mexico turning to, almost every piece of art of Mexico is full of Drug Dealers, Gangster's and shit's like those, we don't want to be like them, that's why we work for your country, sir, we do Not harm U.S. Nor US Truck Driver's. know your facts, really. Good luck.

  • In my opinion. Your being racist on us "The Mexican Truck Driver's", I wish you have the opportunity to get Truck, and Cross the border from Mexico to the US...And see what's the real deal, you're frustrating yourself for $1600 per Truck (That I haven't received)...We the "Mexican Trucker's" we do have to pay for a lot of Permits almost every trip we do, IFTA, Truck Issues, I almost pay $1600 dlls. per 2 months to YOUR goverment, every god damn year, we do NOT take your jobs, we actually make em

  • I'm Mexican,I have 4 Truck's, I have friend's and a member of my family that are Truck Drivers as well, a few of them have more than 20 years sitting their asses on a Truck, moving all kind of merchandise, For you Americans to eat.

    I understand that this is your opinion but, have you ever been on a truck and get to cross the border? I do, they ALWAYS check the trucking safety before crossing the border, if there something wrong with it, they get you a warning, and they don't let you pass.
