I could not believe what I read on the news (reported on Reuters), Bill Ford Jr. of Ford Motor Co. wants a $.50 gallon gas tax to encourage people to buy more efficent cars, he also wants a tax incentive to assist people buying his complex Hybrid vehicles! You all might want to write Ford about this joker, as his tax will effect all drivers, even those that get near 30 mpg in there 30 year old 914s, which is better milage than most Ford products sold today. Just venting today on a statement from a true idiot. What a self serving proposal, that would cost many of us hundereds of dollars per year.

I have a friend who hates lite rail as he thinks its a waste of money as no one uses it. Ok I said look it up, what is the percentage of use in say Holland vs the US for mass transit. Hmm, Holland is about 16% vs less than 1% in the US. IF we could even get up to 10% that would be a major change in this society.
I love building big freeways, lots of carpenters, iron workers and laborers put to work, with lots of money wasted going in to the workers pockets! haha Plus they cost these days billions of dollars. Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
