He's like one of the cartoony villains in the Batman TV series….
FUBO, the day I let ANY government and especially one with a usurper, Marxist, closet Muslim and homo at the helm, hell will have frozen over. Now once again FUBO. I can drive my car in other countries just as easily as here. NEVER will I have a government issued tracking device on any vehicle. NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Step 2: Cry that those same cars which the federales just spent thousands of dollars on aren't paying their fair share of the gasoline tax and therefore everyone has to pay an additional per mile tax.
Step 3: Turn on your air conditioner and furnace at the same time and then complain about your high energy bill.
I have an idea: stop subsidizing the #($#*(@ hybrid and electric cars and use that money to pay for the roads for everyone. If hybrids and electrics are economically viable on their own then people will buy them. If so many people switch to them that the highway trust fund isn't getting enough money, then maybe you can work on an alternative system of having drivers pay, but we are nowhere close to that point now.
The cut in gas tax revenue right now has far more to do with fewer people driving to work because of the Obama economy and high gas prices from Obama's energy policy than having too many high efficiency cars.
NO. Just plain NO.
ANY level of government having the ability to track your every movement without a valid warrant is a REALLY bad idea.
One thing that really concerns me right now is that absolutely NOBODY on the Republican side is out there saying he or she will “get government off our backs”.
That phrase would SO resonate with the American People at this time. The fact that absolutely no one is using it is cause for great concern.
Intrusive, Intrusive, Intrusive. They do this and then they will be sending out notices like the electric company does to tell me how much electricity I am consuming or saving compared to my neighbors. Those notices annoy the h-ll out of me, what a waste of time and money. I use and pay for what I need to use, which may be more then some and less then others. In regards to driving I do the same. We seldom go out just for a drive any more. And back when we would go out for just a drive, most of the time we had a destination in mind. It could have been going to the ice cream stand that is a half hour drive rather then the one that is less then 5 minutes down the street. Or instead of going to the coffee shop down the street, we would drive to the one down near the beach to enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting near the ocean. We haven’t done those kind of things in a long time because we don’t want to waste the gas. I miss those rides, but for my own financial benefit I save fuel by not driving unnecessarily. I don’t need the government to track my mileage or my energy consumption nor do I need them to compare and judge my usage of that which is necessary to exist.
That would really help Ford and GM.
Do it !
DO IT !!
DO IT !!!!
So people who have no choice but to drive a half hour or more to get to the job they are trying to hang on to, will be taxed on top of paying the high gas prices? He’s certifiably insane.
LOL
Doubling down.
That is his salvo, should he be re-elected.
power to tax is the power to destroy.
this is to destroy individual travel.
iow: some people are too poor to leave the city plantation.
Put an electronic device in a car and track the miles?
That’s stoopid.
Some enterprising company is lobbying to see this is done and they will make a killing.
If it’s just about the mileage why not have everyone take their car down to the DMV for an inspection like they do in Delaware?
More money, MORE money, MORE MONEY.
Government porkers swilling at the trough.
I never thought much of 'Countrywide' Kent Comrade, but this idiocy which will hurt those from rural states disproportionately coming from him catapults him to the pinnacle of assholianism, imho.
He is a Kamikaze Democrat, anyway, and has already said he would not run.
It is my understanding that the court has said we cannot recall his mangy self, though that is a right in North Dakota. With this latest proposal, I have little doubt he'd be out on his lying keester had the recall been allowed to proceed.
Time to "ease" this one into the sea, as well...
~PING~
These are the people who moaned and whined that the Patriot Act would have gov officials, Pubbies of course, listening to the conversations of every lib in America. Now they want to be able to track the movements of everyone’s car. What a bunch of hypocritical frauds.
