DaEagles4Life Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Would rather see an a cyber security bill to be honest or at least part of the infrastructure bill. Congress would rather be reactive than proactive but fits the narrative of everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden just released a cyber security statement: LINK Of course Congress is reactive. They're only going to do what gets them re-elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vote was 69-30, with 19 Republicans joining every Senate Democrat. The legislation now heads to the House for final approval. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdarkstar Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Trump's tax cuts were not paid for. Talk about a Socialist Program and passing the buck to all of us. We have government health care called Medicare. We also have the Affordable Care Act which involves private insurers. We are still waiting for Trump's Health Care Plan. Education in the USA is free from grades 1-12. Government run education? Trump could use some education himself. Ronald Regan gave Amnesty to Illegal Aliens. Is that who he means? Masks. Yeah, that's what people wear during a Pandemic that has killed over 600,000 lives. Many more terrible socialist programs, but he can't name one. Trump calls bipartisan infrastructure bill 'beginning of the Green New Deal' Jake Dima Sun, August 8, 2021, 7:35 PM "The RINOs in the Senate are delivering a big win by caving to the Radical Democrats on infrastructure," he said last month. "Once they pass this bill out of the Senate, it will sit in the House until they get steamrolled by the biggest government expansion in a generation." "Tax increases on everyone, government run health care, more government run schools, amnesty for illegal immigrants, MASKS, and many more terrible socialist programs," he added.

"American drivers could soon trade paying taxes on gas at the pump for owing the government annual 'per-mile user fees,' under a new pilot program recently passed by the Senate in Joe Biden's $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal" Does that mean you pay tax per mile instead of paying tax when you buy gas?

Since infrastructure is currently funded through gasoline tax paid at the pump by drivers. And more and more cars are going hybrid or even full electric. How do you suppose infrastructure would get paid for in a scenario where people don't purchase gasoline anymore to fuel their cars? Everyone knows that at some point, you're going to have to change the current payment model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we_gotta_believe Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hopefully that per-mile tax will account for axle weight. A mini cooper shouldn't pay the same tax per mile as an 18-wheeler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more, but somewhat counterbalanced by a lighter powertrain. On average though, still probably heavier overall than their gas counterpart.

JohnSnowsHair Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Tesla Model 3 is about 500 lbs heavier than a Honda Accord. Roughly speaking 3500 vs 4000 lbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
