INFRASTRUCTURE

 I’M IN FAVOR OF GOOD ROADS AND BRIDGES

That’s my idea of “infrastructure,” but apparently the politicians view it differently. For example, on page 508 of the bipartisan “Infrastructure” Bill to be voted on later this week is a provision to implement a new tax on the miles you drive in your car or truck. 

Remember when the gas tax in Missouri was raised in the early 2000s? Popular, despite the dig into the pockets of most active people. The roads in Missouri were terrible, example I-70 from Kansas City to St. Louis, and the bridges were the worst in the nation. What did the DOT do?

THEY BUILT A REALLY NICE OFFICE BUILDING AND BOUGHT A JET!

Depend on the driving tax to become permanent and to further boost inflation.
