Truckers will be able to drive longer?

I think that there are a few things to note here. The first is that Bush is trying to leave office with a clean record, which he won't be able to do. In the last few months of a presidency you are usually named "the lame duck" president. That means he doesn't have much power. Also I think that this idea of allowing truck drivers to drive longer on the road isn't a good idea. It isn't good for our environment because more pollution becomes a result. It isn't good for the truck drivers because it increases fatigue on the roads. Also it causes them to be away from their families for longer periods of time. I think this new act being put into place undermines what many environmental groups have been fighting so hard for. Many of them want to see our world become better not worse. So by increasing the driving hours it continues to tear down the environment in the process. I don't quite get his methods but they aren't going to be beneficial.
