Everybody knows that a traffic jam is the result of too many cars on the road. Real-life experience says that the only way that ever works to ease traffic congestion is to have fewer cars on the road. New York switched on congestion tolling earlier this year, flawed as it is, and lo, fewer cars on the road means fewer traffic jams!

So of course the new administration wants to cancel transit projects. Is this stupid, malicious, or both?
