You’re good through December
It looks like the USFG is kicking the can again to deal with transportation policy:
The House of Representatives voted by a 335-85 margin on legislation to extend federal surface transportation programs for three months through December 31. The legislation has been sent to the Senate … While this extension may be able to keep federal funding for surface transportation intact through the end of the year, it is more of a stop-gap than anything else, considering the long-term needs for major transportation infrastructure investment.
Need attitudinal inherency?
“Existing Federal transportation policies, which will be continued under this extension, are outdated and ill-equipped to meet the demands of a changing nation,” Oberstar said on the House floor. “Right now, the only impediment to the implementation of a long-term surface transportation authorization is a lack of political will to make the necessary choices and implement the reforms that will set the nation on the path to building a surface transportation network that meets the needs of the 21st Century and beyond.”

So much for simplistic inherency for the Fall Semester. (Eg. “It’s inherent because we’re not doing it.”) Thin – but under contemporary theory – probably adequate.
