You know, diatribes about how Republicans made the world out to be a scary place so that people would vote for hawkish candidates. Well, this past week has been (and I’m sure [...]
The dawn of 2009 brings news that something called the National Commission for Surface Transportation Financing (a creature, of course, of Congress) is recommending a 50% hike in the gasoline tax to finance new construction projects in this country. I’m imagining this proposal will be getting a lot of traction when the next Presidium of [...]
