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.
Size of national debt when Reagan took office: $1 trillion. Size after six years: $2.3 trillion (130 percent increase) Size at the end of his presidency: $2.9 trillion (190 percent increase) In other words, when the numbers are placed in context, the national debt grew faster under Reagan than it has under Obama.
