** WASHINGTON Despite opposition from the White House, a proposal to tax motorists on the number of miles they drive each year is gathering speed on Capitol Hill. Its popularity is increasing as Congress searches for alternatives to the federal gasoline tax, which isn’t indexed to inflation and hasn’t been raised since 1993. McClatchy Newspapers **
After doing all they can to kill the oil industry…and thus smash the revenue it brings to Washington, Democrats now have a plan to make all travel more expensive for everyone and raise the price of everything we buy, including food….I hope Obama uses that veto pen if this stupidity reaches his desk.
