The socialist Democrats and a few RINO Republicans in congress are trying to pass a so-called infrastructure bill, purportedly to rebuild aging bridges, roads and other dilapidated structures in the country.
What they aren't telling us is that they are sneaking in a national motor vehicle mileage "user fee" on passenger cars, light trucks, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks on a "trial basis". When it comes to government, there's no such thing as "trial basis"). As Ronald Reagan once said, "The closest thing to eternal life is a government bureau."
Here's some snippets from an article posted by the Western Journal:
The cost of living is on the rise, calls for yet another wave of pandemic restrictions have begun and now, buried deep in the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill, the left has laid out yet another idea to bring Americans to their knees.
Make no mistake: The suffering is intentional, goal-oriented and not bound to stop anytime soon.
Still, one proposal in the 2,702 page infrastructure bill seems especially cruel — cruel enough to make it too expensive for many Americans to even drive a car.
Nick Short of the Claremont Institute highlighted an item on Pages 508-519 of the bill that would introduce a national per-mile motor vehicle user fee on a trial basis.
“Buried on page 508 of the 2,702 page infrastructure bill is a pilot program for a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee (MBUF) which is basically a long-term plan to make it too expensive to drive a car,” Short said Tuesday on Twitter.
The left can chalk up this test run of what eventually might turn into a full-blown measure to make owning a vehicle next-to-impossible as an effort to be “environmentally conscious,” but is it instead another way to cripple our existing ways of life?
