“His plan would base annual rates partly on the exact number of miles driven and would allow people to pay less if they drive less”

Here’s the thing. If I were a socialist leaning type, I’d love this. I don’t drive anywhere I absolutely don’t have to. I work at home, and live in a paradise, have seen more of the world than I ever wanted to, so why would I want to go anywhere?

Anytime some bureaucrat gets to throw us at his scales and determine his choice of which of us gets the goodies I get nervous. Even when it would be to my benefit.

In other words, NO!

Its just another form of social engineering, of which our government is a proud proponent.

Well, there is about 1 in a billion chance of that! LOL.
