At Least Someone Is Using Their Brain

Mike Bloomberg is slightly nuts, but I really like his long-term thinking (a thing that most people just don't seem to have). Fuck that patching up problems and then have them come back to haunt us all worse than ever a few years down the road. Fix shit now, bitches.

Granted having assloads of money makes his style of thought a bit easier than for the average Joe, but maybe we need to start solving problems ourselves instead of depending on the douches running for President (who you know aren't going to get jackshit done). Kudos, Mike.

From 1010WINS:

Bloomberg praised Sen. Barack Obama for opposing the plan floated by Republican John McCain and supported by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton to suspend the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.2 cent diesel tax during the peak driving months of the summer.

"It's about the dumbest thing I've heard in an awful long time, from an economic point of view," Bloomberg told reporters at City Hall. "We're trying to discourage people from driving and we're trying to end our energy dependence ... and we're trying to have more money to build infrastructure."
