The Bailo Plan does it one better.

I rode my bike to work today.

Under the Bailo Plan:

Those who bike to work more than 50% of the time get a tax credit.

Bicyclists get stimulus checks for purchase and repair.

In some congested areas, bicyclists would get to receive per mile credits (and money) for riding a bike rather than a car.

I don't care that the Dems are frustrated that it's holdin' up the bill!  It's almost the only chance the tax extensions have!  They haveta be attached to a piece of veto-proof legislation!

Finally someone gets it!

It has a better chance as an ammendment, not as an independent bill!

Thanks for the dogged reporting, Kate.

These tax extensions look likely to pass one way or the other, but the upshot in the short run is movement of capital away from new renewable energy projects in the US to others overseas...

I think I'm confused by your comment Erik, could you explain it to me slowly?
