Think: what else can I do to ruin the USA?
Does Obama sit around thinking of how he can destroy our country even more?
That's a rhetorical question. Now comes another brilliant idea from this
administration:
Now Obama Wants to Force Farmers to Get Commercial Drivers Licenses
Via Gateway
Pundit<http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/08/now-obama-wants-to-force-farmers-to-get-commercial-drivers-licenses/>:
A new rule being proposed by the federal Department of Transportation *would
require farmers to get commercial drivers licenses*.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
<http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/> wants
to adopt standards that would reclassify all farm vehicles and implements as
Commercial Motor Vehicles, officials said. Likewise, the proposal, if
adopted, *would require all farmers and everyone on the farm who operates
any of the equipment to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL)*, they
added.
The proposed rule change would mean that *anyone who drives a tractor or
operates any piece of motorized farming equipment would be required to pass
the same tests and complete the same detailed forms and logs required of
semi-tractor trailer drivers*.
Drivers would keep logs of information including hours worked and miles
traveled. Vehicles would be required to display DOT numbers. A CDL in
Virginia costs $64 for eight years, or $8 per year, not including the cost
of an instructional class and the written test.
If the DOT reclassifies farm vehicles and implements as commercial vehicles,
*the federal government will have regulatory control over the nation’s farm
workers*, estimated at over 800,000, by requiring them to have commercial
drivers licenses.
That possibility worries county farmers and others in Halifax County
interested in agriculture. “I have a CDL, but very few farmers have one,”
said Nathalie farmer Ronnie Waller. “This is just another bureaucratic
hurdle for the farmer. It’s hard enough fighting Mother Nature, insects and
all…now we have to fight the federal government,” he added. “We’re getting
more rammed down our throats, and I could see repercussions across the
nation. This move is another inane gesture in my opinion,” Waller concluded.
More control of people and more taxes. And you know they eventually will
want to control their emissions as well. We know one thing for sure about
Skippy, if an idea comes out of this administration, it's going to be bad
for our country.
