They showed on the news tonight an interview with Sec. Clinton about why her and the president are not following through on the hardball stance they promiced in their campain about dealing with China's monitary system. Her responce was

"That was back then and this is now, things have changed since the campain that make us relook at the situation and we need China to be our ally so they loan us the money for the stimulas packages."

That was then? The ******** was 4 months ago!!!!!! Plus does the average American really want to be in debt to China, the Middle East Oil Countries or any foreign country for that matter. How do the does it feel to be a Union Auto man and know the money that is bailing you out is comming from China and once it is paid back with interest they will make more money out of the bail-outs then American workers

The state of NC is very close to putting this into action. It's about to go before the state legislature. The tax would be a quarter of a cent per mile (that's 0.0025/mile for those who like to see the number).

This would be assessed based on the mileage at your annual inspection. Given the fact our governor was on the news tonight saying she has to make up a multi-billion dollar deficit and anything was on the table, I'd say this stands a real good chance of passing.

Now, I drive approx 50-60,000 miles a year. That works out to $125-150 a year.

I have one big problem with this. It's called a road use tax. Probably 75% of my miles are in other states, not on NC roads. And everyone who drives in from another state is not paying this "road use" tax.

Tolls? I've got no problem with them. I probably pay West Virginia at least $75-100 a year driving thru there. But at least everybody is paying it (and they do re-pave the road every few years and keep it up).

Just another thing to bite the traveling race fan who's already doing his best to stimulate the economy.
