I guess LaHood didnt hear about the auto industry bail-out plan.


US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Thursday explained how his
policies are designed to discourage the ownership and use of automobiles.

US Transportation Secretary says coercion and government intrusion will be
used to force people out of their cars.

When asked whether this included a per-mile satellite-based tax, LaHood
side-stepped the issue with a joke. The transportation secretary admitted
that the new fees and regulations are designed to make driving less
attractive. He suggested the only opposition to this policy is found in a
recent Newsweek column in which George Will dubbed LaHood the "Secretary of
Behavior Modification" for his plan to "transform" Americans out of their
cars.

Apparently, Secretary LaHood hasn't been East of the Alleghaney
Mountains.

While his policies may have _some_ validity in NYC or DC, he's out of
touch with reality.

But _that's_ normal for this Administration.
