Before the "Obama continued Bush policy" talking point gets rolling too fast...

Before the "Obama continued Bush policy" talking point gets rolling too fast...

... So Obama did a backflip out of a helicopter with a Desert Eagle in both hands and put a bullet in both of OBL's eyes. He said some heartless shit to him before he dumped him off the boat too. Something like, "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by inequeties of the selfish and tyranny of evil men..."

This sounds like a truly awful, awful idea.  I hope it never gets out of "draft" format.

That. We don't need an "alternative source of funding for surface transportation" - we already have a system in place. It's called the gas tax. If you want to raise more money for transportation, raise the gas tax. From a pigouvian standpoint the gas tax is one of the best taxes we have - it's got a built-in INCENTIVE for drivers to buy fuel-efficient vehicles.

Yeah, that's bad.

I can't help but wonder if they were looking at the rise in the use of fuel-efficient vehicles as well as reduced demand due to high gas prices and thinking, hey, we need to replace all that "lost" revenue somehow!

Why do it by the mile? They should do it for time in the car, so people who sit in traffic not only have a miserable commute, but pay extra for it.

I bet if they figure out the biometry, they can start taxing us based on how much air we use. You want to pay for more public works? Don't hold your breath.

Plus, it's pretty pure. The roads are paid for by those who use them.

Keynan Muslim Atheist Socialist?  Well, yeah.  But he was born in the USA.  Now can we get on to the abundant avenues of legitimate criticism and away from all this conspiracy shit?

Spoiler: Probably not.

Trump began his trip to New Hampshire with a victory lap over Obama's release of his birth certificate.

"I've accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish," he said. "I want to look at it, but I hope it's true so we can get onto much more important matters so the press can stop asking me questions."

He added, "I am really honored, frankly, to have played such a big role in hopefully, hopefully, getting rid of this issue."

"I'm taking great credit," he said, calling it "rather amazing" that it "suddenly materializes."

I'm awaiting comment from Luke Scott.

Well, here you go.
