Free GPS in every automobile! (Monitored by the feds, but hey)

You probably already saw this on Drudge, but there's a plan to track each one of us in the name of "paying our fair share." Now that hybrids have caught on after being bandied about as the answer to global warming, they're now robbing the federal government of THEIR fuel tax dollars (you know it's not our money, right?)

The official report comes out on the 26th, but you can see on their website that the National Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing Commission already has a plan to move away from the "outdated" fuel tax.

Commission President Robert Atkison has said, "Privacy concerns are based more on perception than any actual risk." Of course! Silly me; I'll just trust him wholeheartedly based on that single statement!

Perhaps most frightening, and least surprising, is the flawed assumption under which the commission and the administration are operating. From the commission's website: "The Financing Commission’s recommendations are timely and provocative, as the nation grapples with staggering shortfalls in infrastructure funding and the new administration turns its attention to building what President Obama calls 'the roads and bridges…necessary to make this country great again.'"

Yeah, I always knew that entrepreneurship, property rights, individual liberty, and limited government were waaaaaaaay overrated. It's the infrastructure bureaucrats, not the producers, that made this country great!
