Recently I received an e-mail asking me to explain the âvery confusingâ 11/14 hour truck driving rule. As you know, this is the rule which tells the driver how many hours he/she may work, when to break, how long to break, and how many hours of driving that he/she may drive during a 24 hour period.
When President Obama was first inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt of the U.S. government was $10,626,877,048,913.08, according to the Treasury Departmentâs Bureau of the Public Debt.
While by many measures debt has doubled under Obamaâs presidency, it is hard to argue this is entirely of Obamaâs doing. First of all, much of the debt increase was the result of laws and economic conditions in place before Obama took office rather than laws that passed under his presidency.
