Today on FNC's "Cashing In" program the host announced that there is a bi-partisian effort to raise the federal taxes on gasoline to pay for necessary infrastructure repairs and construction.

I thought the treasured Jihadist in Chief announced several years back that he was throwing a trillion dollars or so at that problem. What the hell happened to that money and those repairs ? They have been fucking off a trillion dollars plus for the last 6-7 years. That is why the debt is now 20 trillion !

I don't care what party these crooks are in. If they vote yes to increase taxes on transport fuels they need to be ousted !
One of the paradoxes of the now extremely efficient automobiles is people are using far less gasoline than in past years while driving the same number of miles.

Since Gasoline is taxed by the gallon, that means less tax money collected.

We do have to maintain our infrastructure. But the problem is any money raised will simply be thrown into the bottomless pit of the general fund, and in all likely hood will simply be used to pander and buy more votes.
Wonder which administration was the one wanting more fuel efficient vehicles? We could blame them. My truck gets 14 mpg I'm doing my part.

I am as well, my truck gets 14mpg. I traded off a 4x4, 3/4 ton, 6.0 liter engine with 4.10 gear rear end for a F150 2x4, 4.6 liter engine with a 3.73 gear rear end.
I used to get 12mpg in the 3/4 ton, 6.0 liter, 4x4 hauling a heavy load.
I now get 12mpg in the 4.6 liter 1/2 ton, 2x4 with an empty 2 horse trailer.
Thanks FORD Motor Co. !
Raise my taxes is a NO GO... that's it.

From what I can see, the whole "infrastructure" problem is largely northern states issue. What have they been spending their money on? I'm sure states like Michigan haven't been spending it wisely and their population base has decreased. Fuck 'em.

You can't cite anything to corroborate your ridiculous claims other than "I thought...", which as we all know is a lie.

You're raving about something you don't understand well enough to argue intelligently.

Par for the course.

ignorant fuck.
