Charles Krauthammer asserts in his latest Washington Post column that the Democrats are lighting "bonfires of trivialities." That is his reference to their threats to write "ex post facto legislation and bills of attainder" regarding AIG bonuses, and terminating a small pilot program approved by President Bush. The latter, of course, refers to the stimulous package passed by the Democrats, which contained a provision to kill the pilot program whereby Mexican trucks were allowed onto American highways.
We are talking 97 Mexican trucks mixing in with 6,500,000 American trucks. Do we really want the Teamsters Union writing our foreign policy? Now Mexico is retaliating by slapping tariffs on 90 Americn products coming out of 40 states.
Maybe I am missing something here. Maybe the pilot program was really a nefarious plot designed eventually to cause our highways to be overrun by Mexican trucks? But, at first glance, it does appear that Krauthammer is correct in his assertion that we are lighting trivial bonfires.
