Transporation Bill Steeped In Ideology & Waste : Objma's Bill Illegitmate

Mr Objma isn't serious about presenting a budget bill that is representative of the problems that we face today in this country. His entire 8 years in office has been about doing what ever he thinks will advance his ideology of fundamental change to society that he believes is seriously flawed with options for freedom and prosperity, all items that stand in his way for ideologically changing America to something less dominate in world affairs and wrong headed domestically.
illegitimate
Mr Objma and the progressive socialists believe government should be all things to all people. Individual freedom to chose ones own future is not part of Mr Objma's "new wave" ideology. Our Constitution must be changed to reflect the needs of the people as willing subjects rather then individuals. The path to prosperity must be carried by everyone equally so no one is left out of enjoying the better things in life. This is also the foundation of the Hillary campaign, 'it takes an entire village to raise a child.'

And the Sanders campaign, and the Hillary campaign to some extent, are based on the tried and failed slogan from the past, 'Each according to their needs and from each according to their abilities'.

Obama Announces $98.1 Billion More Transportation Spending Waste
By Lloyd Bentsen - February 24, 2016

A major portion of the Administration’s proposed new transportation spending21st Century Clean Transportation Plan — is a series of proposals to expand transit systems (31 rail, bus and streetcar systems in 18 states costing $3.5 billion), revive the failed high speed rail initiative, modernize freight systems and provide grants to regional authorities to implement innovative “clean” technologies and “green” transportation programs. This new transportation spending is expected to cost $98.1 billion in just FY 2017.

The President just recently signed a groundbreaking transportation bill — the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act or FAST Act — that gave a longer temporary partial solution for the nation’s transportation infrastructure. However, the Fast Act and the new transportation proposal both fail to address several key problems with the Highway Trust Fund and the federal gas tax.

The new administration budget for transportation is a 60% increase over the current annual spending level. To partly pay for the new spending, the Administration is calling for a $10 per barrel tax on oil or a 25 cent/gallon increase in the price of gasoline at the pump which is estimated to bring in $650 billion over a decade.

Despite this, the administration’s budget request was declared dead even before its arrival on Capitol Hill, just like most of Obama’s previous transportation budget proposals.
