"WASHINGTON (AP) - A special commission is urging the government to raise federal gasoline taxes by as much as 40 cents per gallon over five years as part of a sweeping overhaul designed to ease traffic congestion and repair the nation's decaying bridges and roads."
More insanity from the petty politicians. They now are going to raise taxes on gas to rebuild roads and bridges. Where is the tax money from gas going now? The government makes more money on gas than the big oil companies. We will not need these roads to drive on if we cannot afford to buy gas and it would wreck the economy. Can you say depression????
IS THERE ANYBODY IN DC THAT IS SANE!!!!!
Every state gets a portion of the gas tax now. Some local governments have invested it in inner city mass transits (buses, trolleys trains etc.) which for the most part are running very lite on public usage. This is what happened in Minnesota instead of repairing bridges. MORE INSANITY
