    Great article. Thanks. The infrastructure problem and the funding issue with it can be solved quite easily: kill the Social Security, Medicare, Medicade and Ovomitcare. Now, before the yelling at me begins, keep in mind, I've been paying into the first stupid three for over 24 years. I expect to get NOTHING in return. Thus, I have no problem if I could willingly stop paying into those BS, Socialist programs right now.

    there is more than enough revenue collected in gas taxes (which I strongly disagree with) to apply to infrastructure issues. where is all that money going??

    That doesn't mean the gas companies are going to lower gas prices if they are no longer stuck for production taxes. More than likely those will stay in place and the consumer will be stuck paying a higher tax bill so the pigs at the trough can have more money to emplace more entitlements, because they aren't going to fix the roads.

    I can see hackers modifying the reported mileage on the devices. This is something I support. The gov't can go get bent on collecting even more taxes from my labor. Nearly 20 years ago, the stupid gov't told those of us in the military to "do more with less." We did, and at a sacrafice. We are past the time now for all branches of gov't to do the same: it's their turn to 'do more with less.'
