The left is once again going after the automobile industry by calling for new taxes on the already overtaxed drivers of America. An economist at the Congressional Budge Office suggested that the Federal government would start charging people based on their mileage.

Chad Shirley, CBO’s deputy assistant director for microeconomic studies, gave a presentation that shows federal gas tax revenues are falling short of federal spending on highway programs. Naturally, Shirley didn’t suggest less federal spending, but instead he offered three somewhat idiotic suggestions.
