Bush passed bill that allows tolls on existing highways / plate trackers on vehicles

[101Scout]

SAFETEA-LU, the bill that snuggles right up with the Patriot Act II 'individual rights' take-a-way.

There it is ladies and gentlemen..... another 'stick it to the commons of America' with making us pay for already paid for highways and bridges etc etc in adding tolls to use them. Plus they will start using vehicle plate trackers too.

Would this transportation money be possibly earmarked for paying down Bush's reckless deficit and unappropriate money managment? :madr:

ITÂ’S THE LAW! FEDS PAVE THE WAY TO TOLL AND PRIVATIZE THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AS PART OF AMERICAN UNION

Infowars.com | June 29, 2006
By Bob Dacy



On July 29, 2005, President Bush signed a bill which permits and promotes the charging of tolls on existing and planned interstate highways, bridges, and tunnels. Before the passage of the bill, known as SAFETEA-LU, or “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users”, it was generally illegal to charge tolls on roads built with Federal funds. What’s more, the tolls collected will be automatic, requiring universally compatible toll transponder tags on every vehicle.


SAFETEA-LU makes possible a variety of programs, all aimed at forcing Americans to pay to travel.

Separately that same day, Congress passed a 12th short-term TEA 21 extension through August 15 which the President signed into law July 30. That extension does not provide new funding authority but keeps transit and highway programs running until the President signs the new long-term bill into law. A Presidential bill-signing ceremony is expected to be held August 10.

The bill provides $286.4 billion in guaranteed funding for federal surface transportation programs over six years through FY 2009, including $52.6 billion for federal transit programs - a 46% increase over transit funding guaranteed in TEA 21. For the transit program the bill provides $8.6 billion in FY 2006; $9.0 billion in FY 2007; $9.7 billion in FY 2008; and $10.3 billion in FY 2009.

SD06, are you telling us your for this "SHRUB" BS bill?
All about NeoCon power SD06, all about power!

Are you some kind of law officer SD06?

Kind of curious seen what you layed down in the Veteran Section about Basic Training or what you called BCT.

By the way SD06, what was your MOS in the Army - guard, NG, or regular Army?

So you actually back this NeoCon BS above -- give me a break!

Hang Tough~

Did you actually read my post???

I never stated a position. For the record I am dead set against toll roads. I paid for the road to be built and I see no need to keep paying for it. If you read the bill it would allow states to collect tolls under certain state programs, not the Feds. This bill went into effect in '05. Its the same bill that had the bridge to nowhere in Alaska.

You seem to think everything is about bush and every post is about bush. Afraid its not. Everyone voted for this bloated piece of pork.

Actually read my posts.

Add you believe in the Bush 'law' fairy tales as well.... Zel does. Joe does too.

A[Only registered and activated users can see links] don't tuck and run bubba .... it's just a forum. You're welcomed to post anywhere anytime.... we all have opinons. You believe in Bush policies and I don't. Hey no biggie.... life's a wrestling match and then we go to bed every night.

The Neocons are doing everything they can to track ppl in this country, which means less freedom for Americans... pushing it into a more policed state. That's where I stand on anything that the BushCons does. Period!

Yeah, the state collects in order for them to receive the FED's funding for the roads. That crap started several years ago where now the state has to do what the FED's demands or they are cut off funds that once were there to 'help' ppl in their state. You're right, it's a bloated piece of pork and it all falls on us the tax payers!

Yes that's right, a lot is about Bush. Since 2001, Bush has ruined just about everything there could be ruined in this country. So I say he well deserves the ongoing bashing that we give him in these forums. If it makes you feel any better I hate Cheney much more than Bush. Cheney is the real 'operator' behind the oval office. Him and daddy Bush. I just haven't been calling it CheneyCo is all. Most ppl wouldn't indentify with that heading.

Guess what SD06? If BushCo hadn't stolen the '04 election we would have bashed Bush for only a couple of years afterwords until Kerry had this country a little more back on it's feet and out of Iraq. I'll never stop tearing the heart out of the GOP and their NeoCon pals!! :fighting0081[1]:

Oh it's coming folks... soon the govt and it's policed state will be tracking your every move. Oh yeah, they'll sweeten it up with stuff like... 'Oh... this will help us to find you when you are highjacked or lost.... or if your vehicle is stolen' but when it all boils down to is... if you make their 'list' to be watched for ANY OLE THING, you'll find yourself in court over silly things that we all once all were able to do under a free state. Mark my words folks... the GOP has wormed it's way into our free America and it's all slipping away fast. The great thing about this also.. we are paying more now for this all to happen. Just how stupid are we?

Wireless World: Chips track license plates


A controversial plan to embed radio frequency identification chips in license plates in the United Kingdom also may be coming to the United States, experts told UPI's Wireless World.


The so-called e-Plate, developed by the British firm Hills Numberplates, is a license plate that also transmits a vehicle's unique identification via encryption that can be read by a small detector, whose output can be used locally or communicated to a distant host.

"RFID is all the rage these days," said Bradley Gross, chairman of Becker & Poliakoff, a law firm in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., "but my fear is that this use of the technology is tracking at its worst."

The reason for the concern in the legal and privacy-rights communities is that e-plates may expand the ability of police to track individuals by the movement of their vehicles.

A single RFID reader can identify dozens of vehicles fitted with e-plates moving at any speed at a distance of about 100 yards. The e-plate looks just like a standard plate, but it contains an embedded chip that cannot be seen or removed. It is self-powered with a battery life of up to 10 years.

"Police will be able to track your every move when you drive," said Liz McIntyre, an RFID expert and author of the forthcoming book, "Spychips: How Major Corporations and the Government Plan to Track Your Every Move With RFID" (Nelson Current, October 2005). "What if they put these readers at a mosque? They could tell who was inside at a worship service by which cars were in the parking lot."

Indeed, the makers of the technology boast that the e-plates can furnish access control, automated tolling, asset tracking, traffic-flow monitoring and vehicle crime and "non-compliance." The chips can be outfitted with 128 bit encryption to prevent hacking.
