Obama wants to collect more in taxes/fees without even pretending there is an added benefit? NO WAY!!!
To: Nachum
...clearing the way for states to raise revenue on roads that drivers currently use at no cost.
LIE! Anyone who drives a gas powered vehicle pays for the roads. No need to read any farther than that.

True, Obama and the libertarians seem in agreement on this.

If the government would stick to its legitimate functions it would have more than enough money to handle those functions.
To: Nachum
The Slimes is being dishonest here. I-95 has had tolls on it as long as I can remember.

It goes further than that because we pay for goods and services that travel on those roads and pay those taxes as part of the cost.

Any way they can take more money from us. Studies have shown that most of the money collected from tolls goes to payroll for the toll road administration. In other words it is a jobs program for jobs that don’t really need to be done.

12-times as expensive roundabouts
It is not just the cost of roundabouts that are beneficial to the left (the road builders send a good chunk of that money back to the Dims). Other advantages are:
1) It takes more land out of private hands (every little bit helps)
2) It frustrates drivers into (hopefully in their eyes) getting on to public transportation instead of private vehicles.
3) It gives DOT personnel a feeling of power because they can force these on the people who pay their salaries.

And roads that drivers, for all practical purposes, have no choice but to use.
Yet another destruction of freedom.
To: Nachum
He’ll have to ask for funding to exempt his welfare minions from the tolls.
“For the chillun”.
mmm... if he put price controls on food stamps requiring people to pay 55 cents on the dollar for them that would make up the difference.

I mostly avoid the interstates for getting around locally but use them for long distance. +the goods and services I buy.
