Guess what folks. The price of gas has gone up from 1 dollar to 3 dollars, and the amount of tax taken away for transportation has stayed the same... around 20 cents per gallon...

It needs to be raised a minimum of 40 cents per gallon to at least help out this failing infrastructure...

I hope people are paying attention to this. The gas tax pays for roads and bridges, so getting rid of the income tax should be something everyone supports. Ron Paul in '08.

It is difficult to believe that anyone would suggest increasing the tax on fuel. My weekly fuel bill is twice what it was in 2000 and that affects my spending in the grocery store, means fewer entertainment dollars available, replacement of some durable goods posponed or bypassed completely, the ability to put a few dollars away for unplanned emergencies diminished, and on and on and on. Find the money somewhere else, NO NEW TAXES, especially not when they take food off the table of low and middle class America!!!

TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF MILITARY SPENDING.

No, he's going to ask China for a loan...you know, to add to the X0X0X0X trillion dollar debt he's created...Thanks bush!

I find it Ironic that The same people who said if they were elected they would lower gas prices want to increase the tax on gas.

The cost for repairing this country's infrastructure is estimated to be 9 million a year for 20 years for a total cost of $180,000,000,000. The current total for the war in Iraq – $450,624,275,000 and counting. You do the math.
According to this administration we are fighting them over there so the terrorists will not come here. They don't need to. Our bridges and overpasses are doing their work for them.

It is interesting how he also spends and prioritizes war money. Remember, our lives are all about the War on Terror. Forget the rest. Gas tax, health insurance, education, peace in the Middle East, and protecting the environment/conserving resources is for pussies. I guess once the former/racist First Lady Barb, Poppy Bush, Laura, and his drug addicted twins Jenna and 'Barbara Jr.' fall off a collapsing bridge he will change his course of action...not until it hits home and it stinks!
