Who's responsibility is it anyway? The demise of the TL2!

In a perfect world where justice and equality prevails, everyone pulls their own weight, carries their own pail of responsibilities. There would be no government bailout of GM, Chrysler, Banks or Insurance companies. Sink or swim is the motto of business.

If in that world every industry carries their own there would be no need for the TL2. Why should the government reimburse citizens for industry related costs? And yet this is what is being done. Thirty years ago the trucking industry paid meal expenses on the road, but they abandoned that (or the responsibility taken from them) when the government started issuing a “rebate”.

In a perfect world a truckers wages would be separated from his job related costs. But we’re not in a perfect world.
