Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg Says Taxing Drivers by the Mile “Shows a Lot of Promise” and Could be a Way to Fund Infrastructure Overhaul (VIDEO)
Stolen elections have consequences.
Pete Buttigieg, an inexperienced small town mayor, was appointed Transportation Secretary as his reward for dropping out of the Democrat primaries last year.
Buttigieg on Friday said taxing drivers by the mile “shows a lot of promise” and could be a way to fund a big infrastructure overhaul.
This is an attack on rural Americans and will hit low-income workers the hardest.
“If we believe in that so-called ‘user-pays principle,’ the idea that part of how we pay for roads is you pay based on how much you drive. The gas tax used to be the obvious way to do it. It’s not anymore,” Buttigieg said during an appearance on CNBC.
