Since Kasz has taken care of the rest, I do want to point out 99.9% of US economists are idiots.

Kasz's arguments consist of either silly logic or ad-hominems, though most of the time both.  I like the electronic tolling idea (though I suggested it in the post before to point out how stupid of an idea it was), too bad it would cost trillions of dollars to implement and greatly hamper economic activity.  And I'm still waiting for you to calculate the cost of road construction for your daily commute, then tell me that you believe that the millions and millions of dollars will happily be paid for by everyone along the route.  I have some magic beans I want to sell you too.

I also like that, in an attempt to make both of your arguments sound less ridiculous, you claim to be more intelligent than a vast majority of experts in the area.
