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.
5 trillion of the debt is money the government owes itself and can be wiped out with the stroke of a pen by congress that leaves about 12.25 trillion left. If we divide that by the 2.3 trillion in revenues the fed receives every year we get $5.33 of debt for every dollar of paid in taxes.
