Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that “becoming the head of the Department of Transportation has really opened my eyes to a lot of things. One of those things was the realization that our highways are inherently racist. Everyone knows that blacks prefer to ride in buses and trains. Yet, nationwide 99 percent of the person-miles of travel occurs in automobiles. Blacks make up 13 percent of the population. Shouldn’t buses and trains account for at least 13 percent of the travel?”
“Not only do we need to stop funding more road construction, we need to start tearing down a lot of what we’ve already built,” the Secretary suggested. “I think a carefully planned and implemented policy of tearing up existing roads will have salutary results. First, if whites no longer have enough roads to drive on they will demand that more buses and trains be provided. Second, a lot of our urban freeways separate white from black neighborhoods. This thwarts the unification the President has vowed to achieve. Third, tearing up roads will provide the good, high-paying jobs that the President has promised to stimulate. Blacks can get these jobs because tearing down things is, as we saw last summer, something they like to do and is easier than designing and building something that has to be useful and safe.”
“Finally, the tax increase that is needed to fund the Biden Administration’s infrastructure program will take more money away from wasteful private sector uses and put it into the hands of expert government planners,” he added. “Private businesses are always trying to become more efficient—to do more with less. We Democrats know this is exactly backwards. If we do less with more that means more spending and more jobs. When I was the Mayor of South Bend I saw the stark contrast between public and private schools. Private schools had fewer employee per student, their overhead was less costly, and the students learned more—all of these features are job-killers. So the more money that can be shifted into the control of the public sector the greater the boom times will be.”

Silly Buttranger.
They can always go back to swinging between trees.
remove ALL Red lights, they’re racist slurs against Indians/”Native” Americans
remove ALL Yellow lights, too, they’re racist slurs against Chinese/Asian people
Hmm, I didn't know that. They would “prefer to ride in buses and trains” rather than Mercedes SUVs?
Mayor of a small city in a small state is not qualified for his position.
The Biden cabinet, like the “presidency”, are front people with no real power or decision making capability.
They are propagandists to present to the public.
