The reserve should be over what it needs to be.
It is military use and woth things heating up, drawing down is the opposite.

It's hilarious you think the milage tax shit will stop with a pilot program, and perhaps women are not interested in being truckers for the same reason plenty of men don't want to be truckers; long hours, iffy pay/profit margins for the individual drivers, and difficulty having a family or home life.
Also, it does not sound like they were only going to draw down a bit of the reserve, it sounds like they are going to sell a lot of it, and that reserve is not going to be cheap or easy to refill in the event it is needed.
Whether it stops or not is immaterial, the bill literally only includes funding for the pilot program. Which means they would have to pass a new bill if they wanted to make it an actual tax.
And yes, but Women truck drivers have a 20% lower accident rate then men... So there's an actual good reason for wanting more of them... And no harm in actually studying the issue to try and find ways to attract them to the job.
It's literally just the equal of 8 days of US crude oil production...

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Does it only applies to cars?Cool, so now we get taxed on how many miles we drive.
They're going to force the people to bring back horses and mules to be run on carts.

I wouldn't be so sure. I think it's fairly likely that they pass something else, but Manchin & co. might cut it down significantly from what it is now; if they do, progressives might flip the table and walk away rather than take whatever bone he's tossing, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.
I am guessing that the main reason for the sale is for budgetary reasons ("look, it's all paid for because we sold the strategic reserve"), in which case they'd presumably be perfectly happy to bring it back up to size, presumably via deficit spending.
And the income tax was just a temporary provision.
Probably the idea is to try to force people onto public transportation, apparently not knowing or caring that there's basically no such thing in rural areas. Though if the "great reset" stuff is true, the plan is to not have anyone living in the rural areas, I'm sure.
You might wanna read up on the program in question.And the income tax was just a temporary provision.
This one in specific requires they pay volunteer's, and only has funding through 2026.
So again, they would need an entirely new bill to turn it into an actual tax.

Lower accident rate seems likely to be noise-data from single-digit percentages of women in trucking to begin with...And probably fewer-than-that percentage in hazardous trucking areas where accidents would concentrate (Alaska comes to mind). That's an incredibly weak reason for anything, and forming a board and doing a study are top-tier do-nothing proposals anyways when anyone with two brain cells can tell you why women go into trucking less: The hours are long, the work relatively arduous/taxing in those hours, and you're away from family/home for long periods...Also you are at a disadvantage to male competitors because peeing in a mountain dew bottle while driving is way harder.
It's filler bullshit unnecessary to anything except giving some congressman a brag about how he's 'doing something' because some people are dumb enough to think that forming a board to study a manufactured 'problem' is useful.
Same problem here.
Aside all the arguments of it being a shitty proposal to begin with, it's utterly unnecessary. A malicious distraction even, from more useful investment into energy-producing infrastructure that would make there be no need to offset gas-taxes with mileage-taxes because of surging electric vehicle usage (which is also getting subsidized up the wazoo in what is perhaps the most technological display of cart-before-horse yet).
There are roughly 262,000 female truckers...
That's more then enough to utilize statistical sampling to make an accurate comparison...
If it's unnecessary and won't work, then this program will show it's unnecessary and won't work.
At which point Republican lawmakers can hold it up and say "we tried that it doesn't work".
Further, you don't seem to get how a bipartisan system works... It's not "we get everything we want and you get nothing" it's "we get some things we want and the other side get's some thing's they want". And as far as "other side getting what they want" goes, so far everything you all have tried to bring up has been pretty much harmless.
This system has been abused to hell and back by the demorats. They gradually cut away our rights and freedoms and the RINO cucks did nothing, time and again, in the name of "compromise".

What did they compromise with Trump on?
I recall them doing everything in their power to obstruct him however they could. Including blatantly illegal things.

I think the First Step Act was about the only piece of stuff Trump championed that the Left didn't obstruct for partisan and petty reasons.

It is old religion - marxism.They simply replaced workers with gender and revolution with climate change.Goals are the same - rule over us for eternity.
It not worked for commies,so they fail,too - but we get new massgravess in process.
P.S there is old soviet proverb - you could not be smart,honest and belong to soviet party.So,they do not belive,becouse they are smart.Idiots would not become so important.
