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.
(Snip) “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.

Those people who choose to live in rural areas and commute substantial distances to jobs in or near cities, especially those who use larger vehicles, like pickup trucks, would be ruined. This is THE way to force us into apartments and other tightly packed living arrangements where we can be more easily controlled.
Your freedom offends these Marxist more than anything else. Ordinary people, free to live where they choose, work where the choose, create their own lives, their own companies, and to travel wherever they choose, whenever they choose is OFFENSIVE and unacceptable to these hateful control freaks.
Freedom must be STOPPED. That's their motto, that's what they work for every day, all day.

The Leftists shouldn't make too many long term plans. They will have to be alive to make sure they stay implemented.

The Bolsheviks used the Gulag to immobilize and control the people. The Democrats have chosen to destroy the gasoline engine based individual transport to achieve the same goal

Not going to need cars or private property when they herd us into the FEMA camps. This is the ultimate goal.

Private vehicles represent and provide freedom, an anathema to the democrat party.

Well DUH!
There already is a per-mile fee on cars - - it's called the gasoline tax.
All of us have always known the bitter hatred that commies and other crazed leftists have for the automobile. As other posters have already pointed out - - having a car and a tank full of gasoline gives you the freedom to wander where you choose to. And that's something that commies can never tolerate.
I hope our fellow Americans will wake up from their deep slumber - - because our elected Pubbies never will.

Personal property and liberty are evil in the Woke dogma. F'm.

Electric cars don't pay fuel tax. In fact, they're subsidized. A double loss of
government revenue.

To be fair, Wokesters probably don't think of individual property and liberty as inherently evil -- just things that should be protected only for them and their ideological allies. The only things we deplorables have a right to in their view is servitude and extermination.

Um, have they considered the cost this will add to consumer goods and food products that are trucked around the country?

East / West Coast liberal elite and government biggies don't care about us having to pay a per mile fee. They are chauffeured around in private cars or government vehicles and won't need to pay the fees. They don't care that the price of all goods and services will rise due to the new fees. Everything will be more expensive. Of course as prices rise, people will have less money to spend on what they need so they will expect their wages to increase. That will increase prices even more or put people out of business. Democrats who proposed this per mile fee will act all surprised at the negative economic impact and blame everyone else but themselves and their fees.

There re probably lot of other hidden gems like this one in the "Infrastructure" bill. These hidden items are most probably the reason why Chuck Schumer and Democrats so passionately felt that the bill needed to be voted on before it was even fully written. Like Pelosi said with Obama Care, you need to pass it to see what is in it. That did not work out too well for anyone, did it.

I am sure John Roberts will find a way to rule that dems can tax people that don't drive cars, as well.

What if you do not ever drive on any federal highways? Can you be taxed for putting miles on your vehicle when on private property?
Oh, John Roberts says, "Yes".

You jest, #19, but are you aware that the SCOTUS has ruled that wheat that you grow on your own land, which never leaves your property and is used by only you, your family and your livestock is "in interstate commerce" and therefore subjected to government control via the Interstate Commerce Act?
Yep, it's true. "Interstate commerce" is ANYTHING that they decide it is, even if there is no "interstate" or no "commerce", they can still decide that they control it. .
Check out Wickard v. Filburn (1942). In 1918 the courts had ruled that the Feds could not control production in any way under the Constitution. But, under Roosevelt, that all changed, and the Feds became all powerful, by corrupt, fraudulent rulings like this one.

Other than a very few mass transit routes, the trains and buses are EMPTY. First, the government builds and operates mass-transit and when nobody rides, they have to block our freedom by making it impossible to travel.
99% of the country isn't NY, Chicago or SanFrancisco ( Thank God)

The greens have long wanted such a measure. They and the rest of the left hate the idea of Americans driving because we can drive wherever and whenever we want. They want everyone on public transit and living in high-rises next to train stations. Control over us is what they want.
