Looks like your thread title is beyond misleading.
Well who do you believe, the transportation secreatary responsible for such things, or some spokesperson whose real job is to create propaganda?

This is just another thread about some made-up completely false "evil" Obama plan that cannot withstand the slightest bit of scrutiny.

I'm still waiting for the "Obama wants to eat your children" thread or the "Obama wants to tax Ipod use" thread.

I thought they nixed the idea?

even if it were to fly, isn't it the same as not buying Gas. people will stop traveling so much?

the fact that he's even pondering such a thought is scary. I don't have a car, but wow

"LaHood spokeswoman Lori Irving said Friday that the secretary was speaking of the idea only in general terms, not as something being implemented as administration policy."

Where's the contradiction?
