Hundreds Of Truckers Protest High Gas Prices

quote["The airlines are charging passengers. The steam ship lines are charging the shippers. Everyone who's got clout is getting a surcharge," said Ron Carver of the Teamsters Union. "But the truck drivers who have to buy their own fuel are going into bankruptcy because they don't have the clout to demand this. So they're here today asking Congress to pass a mandatory fuel surcharge to keep them afloat."]

And yet, Bush thinks this countries economy is in great shape and wants to cut taxes (for the already wealthy, of course).
