Last month Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made it abundantly clear that the Biden administration doesn’t really care that Americans are paying record-high prices for gas because it will only force a transition to a “clean energy” future. Buttigieg has also made it clear that the Left’s plans will involve some “nudging” to take place:
The Biden administration is steering $5 billion to cities and localities to address traffic deaths. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg wants to spur plans to slow down cars, create bike paths and wider sidewalks and nudge commuters to public transit. https://t.co/9L1MrhllFs

Well, there it is.
If you didn't think the goal of Democrats is to get you out of your car, here they are making it very clear. High gas prices, slow down cars, create bike paths and wider sidewalks to "Nudge Commuters to Public Transit." Can't be more clear than that. https://t.co/TTIqItpO8V

Now the Democrats are just saying it right out loud.
From the Associated Press:
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday announced the availability of money over five years under his department’s new Safe Streets & Roads for All program.
The aim will be to provide a direct infusion of federal cash to communities that pledge to promote safety for the multiple users of a roadway, particularly pedestrians and bicyclists.
Federal data being released this week by the Transportation Department is expected to show another big jump in U.S. traffic deaths through 2021, reflecting continued risky driving that began with the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. Fatalities among pedestrians and cyclists have been rising faster than those within vehicles.

Here’s a better idea:
"Nudge" commuters to public transit? How I about I nudge you into a rocket and then I nudge it into the sun? https://t.co/prGfMh7d8Z

The Democrat “plan” apparently allows crime to run rampant in large U.S. cities and forces everybody who lives there to be “nudged” into public transportation or ride a bicycle around high crime areas. What could possibly go wrong? No thanks, Mayor Pete.
We just came out of a pandemic, and now this idiot wants to cram us all onto trains. https://t.co/QpbgB6Ei8t

It’s just science.

Most of this administration’s plans do not actually have anything to do with the purported “problem” they say needs to be solved. They’re just power & money grabs as usual.
Apparently the Biden admin hasn’t learned any lessons from trying to “nudge” people out of cars for the last year by driving up fuel prices and trying to guilt people into electric cars they can’t afford. https://t.co/7shfa2NpS9

Biden administration officials like Buttigieg would really like to take away your car so you don’t have a way to flee the big city dystopias leftist policies are creating.
