How do  you spell Stag-flation"?

 

National mile-driven tax pilot program tucked into $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill

"You gotta pass it to see what's in it."

Tucked within the 2,702-page infrastructure bill is obscure language requiring the Department of Transportation to test the feasibility of taxing drivers for the number of miles they travel, contradicting President Biden's previous dismissal of the policy.

The tax would be broad enough to target any “passenger motor vehicles,” including light and medium-to-heavy duty trucks.”

Rodgerdodger, they need a back door way to get highway tax for electric vehicles which they intend to force everyone to own since a super high sales tax would just stifle demand for these vehicles which are already pretty expensive to start with. 

 

The biggest hidden tax in this bill is the fact that most of it is paid for by simply printing the money.  That is a hidden tax on savers, pensioners and anyone else on a fixed salary.  They are simply debasing the currency.  In the past the Treasury/FED printing machine boiled the budget of these poor souls slowly just like the frog so it doesn't jump out of the pot, but this bill and the $3,500,000,000,000 one following are so amazingly large that they actually may drive a spike in inflation in consumer goods instead of just stock prices and real estate which the BLS does not track for the CPI.  Maybe that spike will finally wake the great unwashed masses as to what the Treasury/FED has been doing to them.  More importantly it might also wake the economics challenged members of the press who simply fawn over the FED Head at every presser.  The first indication that the end of this bubble is at hand may be when the FED Head storms out of a presser simply because of the harsh questions that he can't answer.  The bright sterilizing light of day shinning down on what the Treasury/FED has been quietly and slowly doing to the masses for all these years might just be the vaccine needed to tackle  this virulent funny money virus.

Douglas

tax for electric vehicles

 

Electric cars are cool! Zero to 60 in less than a second! Fewer moving parts.

Funny how no body has addressed the fact that there is "currently"  not enough electricity to power homes and businesses during extreme heat waves and cold snaps.

The old Hoover Dam, supplying California with hydro electricity, is almost out of juice already.

Maybe Fairy Dust will power the over-POWERING demand.

Coal and OIL (excuse the profanity) are being killed off.

Perhaps Elon will run an extension cord to Mars.

Dream on...

How long till we see high tech nuclear power plants up and down the CA coastline even right over the San Andreas fault line. The lake over at Hoover dam is the duck pond. Try Bonneville dam on the Columbia..no ducks allowed.

The crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is still storing 1.25 million tons of radioactive water from the plant.

The Japanese government decided on April 13, 2021 to release the water into the sea.

Maybe the release of tritium will whiten our teeth...even in the dark!

 

We keep digging ourselves a deeper hole.

Rodgerdodger, the solution to powering all those new electric cars is sitting right under your feet in Oklahoma, natural gas and crude.  Methane or liquids powered steam or gas turbines with flue CO2 capture should greatly reduce the total cycle emissions of CO2 from the vehicles and generation, but high levels of CO2 capture will also greatly lower the efficiency due to the energy required to capture the CO2 requiring a lot more gas which should be good for Oklahoma and my old home Texas. 

 

Solar is fine if you only want to drive in the daytime with clear blue skies.  Nuclear is fine if you want to save money on headlights because the whole country glows in the dark after all the inevitable Fukushima like events.  Wind is fine if it's blowing, but blows if it's not.  Natural gas and oil are going to be a big part of the solution whether the greenies like it or not.

 

Also an Oklahoma company, Galvanic Energy, is going to benefit the state by participating in the rush to secure lithium with a "mine" next door in southern Arkansas, so OK should be OK with electric vehicles.

 

Regards,

Douglas

it makes sense charging the big trucks and other commercial applications, including UBER and LYFT more. The more miles the more damage that has to be fixed.(JMHO)

Hiroshima was nuked in 1944? Look at it today..

Look at Detroit today (no nukes):

Damage by nukes is highly exaggerated.

And guess who will pay...People who actually work for a living.

Right now it pays to be a drain on the rest of us.
