Angry Truckers Plan Slowdown To Protest Govt. Shutdown; A Lot of Other Stuff
Now you have an additional reason, besides all the usual ones, to be thankful you don't have to drive on Washington, D.C. roadways.
Angry truckers are planning a slowdown on the freeway as part of a three-day protest to "shut down America" and "restore our Constitutional Republic." Among other things, the truckers are mad about low wages, fuel prices, regulations, the government shutdown, the debt ceiling, President Obama and "the corruption that is destroying America." I guess that pretty much covers it huh?
Here's how they plan to express their rage, which will probably enrage other drivers more than anyone else.
