Mitch Daniels and Roads - Following a Bush Ideology?

I asked myself that question this morning reading She Brakes for Ideology in today's Washington Post. After all does this not sound like Mitch Daniels's justification behind the Toll Road lease and Interstate Commerce Connector proposal and the I-69 toll road proposal:

You can see the effect of the Bush ideology in recent reports, as recounted by The Post's Amy Gardner last week, that the administration is yet again looking for excuses to kill rapid transit rail to Dulles Airport. Having jumped through every hoop demanded -- giving up on a tunnel through Tysons Corner, cutting $300 million in costs -- the region finds itself facing another, unexplained roadblock. But if you understand the Bush philosophy, the roadblock isn't so hard to explain: If profit alone -- and not clean air, or joining the rest of the civilized world in connecting airports to cities, or any other consideration -- matters, then Dulles rail no doubt slides down the priority list.
