Mica's bill has angered folks in transit-friendly cities like Chicago because it calls for eliminating the requirement that 20% of funding be directed toward mass (read: "un-American") transit. It also trims some fat by zeroing out a program that encourages kids to safely walk and bike to school. Good going!
It also follows John Boehner's priority of shoving oil-drilling mandates into everything that moves across the House floor, so this "transportation" bill would propose opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, a proposal that has been around almost as long as that state's rapidly melting permafrost.

You gotta read this article. Yep.
"Fk the bus, we need gas for our SUVs so we can run over kids when the bike lanes on the road fade out!" That is one self loving politician there.
