Good news from the administration

My previous post about taxation based on mileage driven has been kaiboshed by President Obama.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Obama administration will not support a policy of taxing drivers based on their mileage, the Transportation Department said Friday after a published interview in which Secretary Ray LaHood called it an idea "we should look at."

In a written statement, the department said, "The policy of taxing motorists based on how many miles they have traveled is not and will not be Obama administration policy."

Okay, so just pretend I didn't say anything.
