This has been bottled up inside me for months and I cannot believe that no one has questioned why the EPA (the same people who told Gov Jindal of LA) that he could not dig up sand to use as protection for the estuaries (the nurseries for many life forms that are necessary to sustain other life (including human) because these MORONS needed to “study” the environmental impact of doing so…..

What is CSA 2010?
Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010, CSA 2010, is a new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) safety program to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes. It introduces a new enforcement and compliance model that allows FMCSA and its state partners to contact a larger number of carriers earlier in order to address safety deficiencies
before crashes occur. When the program is fully rolled out by the end of 2010, we will have a new nationwide system that will make the roads safer for motor carriers and the public alike!The government is putting the hard working driver out of work in America. Put more money in the pockets of the government official and stealing food from the average driver. This is just another way for the goverment to grow and control and destroying a long term industry

President Barack Obama is deploying his Cabinet across the nation in an effort to calm the public as Democrats head into midterm elections.
A weeklong push to highlight the stimulus program’s first year was beginning with a trip yesterday by Vice President Joe Biden to visit Michigan to tour a jobs training program and a solar factory that both received Recovery Act dollars. Biden is expected to urge Congress to pass a jobs bill to aid some of the 8.4M people who have lost their jobs.
Obama’s Democrat colleagues planned to support programs employing people under the $787B spending bill. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was touring a medical center in Georgia on Tuesday; Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was advocating stimulus projects in Virgina and Texas.
In all, senior administration officials are supposed to visit 35 communities before Friday to counter GOP claims the program has failed. Obama plans to surround himself in Washington today with people who are employed due to the plan, then move on to Colorado and Nevada.
Obama’s political team is convinced that the projects across the nation could help Democrats ward off encouraged Republicans and their efforts to reclaim majorities in Congress. Although voters have soured on the spending, individual components have bipartisan fans.
The tax cuts Democrats included in their bill have the backing of 70% of the public, according to a CNN poll in January. Another 80% support the infrastructure investments, such as the water projects Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson plans to promote in Ohio tomorrow.
Notwithstanding, 56% of the public opposes the basic plan, according to the poll.
Biden is expected to give Obama a report Wednesday assessing the stimulus’ effects.

Swearing to America that “this is only the beginning,” President Barack Obama announced over $8B in federal loan guarantees Tuesday for the construction of the first nuclear power plant in the nation in nearly thirty years.
Obama called this both essential and politically advantageous as he tries to put more charge into his energy agenda. Obama called for comprehensive energy law that assigns a cost to the pollution of fuels, giving utility companies more incentive to switch to nuclear power.

While most of Washington is still snowed in, the Senate is briefly in session.
In fact, Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Chuck Grassley, R-IA, have released a draft for a bipartisan jobs bill.
The total cost is $85B and its long-term prospects, both with rank and file Republicans and later on with House liberals, are unclear. But it is bipartisan and aimed at stimulating job creation.
