Now Obama Wants to Kill Off the Long-Haul Rig & Trucking Businesses

Just one more nail in the coffin of  the death of another American industry, carefully and deliberately orchestrated by Obama.

Via Gateway Pundit:

As if he hasn’t done enough already to destroy the greatest economy on earth, Barack Obama on Tuesday passed legislation to kill the American long-haul rig and work truck businesses.

Flanked by truck manufacturers and trucking industry executives, President Obama signed a first-of-its-kind order in May 2010 clearing the way for medium- and heavy-duty trucks to meet more stringent fuel-economy targets. (CA Transport)

Obama’s latest regulations on the trucking industry will force thousands of long-haul truckers out of business and will significantly increase expenses on all trucking companies.
The Daily Press reported:

“President Obama announced the first-ever fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas standards for long-haul rigs, work trucks, and other heavy duty vehicles Tuesday, the second mileage pact with manufacturers in less than a month.”

To which the Lonely Conservative adds: Obama Wants Food Prices to Soar

President Obama and his nasty regulators have set new fuel standards for large trucks. No doubt this will drive up the cost of the food we put on our tables, because that food has to get from point A to point B. Does anyone out there think this won’t drive up the price of our food, and everything else we buy?Hellloooo? McFly?
