Two-thirds of respondents–including majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independents–said that improving transportation infrastructure is “important.” And 80% agreed that federal funding to improve and modernize transportation systems would boost local economies and create jobs.
But only 27% said that raising the federal gasoline tax would be an “acceptable” way to provide more highway funding. The 18.4-cent federal tax on a gallon of gasoline provides most funding for transportation projects, and many groups, including the Chamber of Commerce, have called for raising the gas tax. WSJ
Politicians like Pauk Ryan cause this problem. They spread ignorance and lies. The solution is simple, you want to fix a bidge, get the money locally. Cut entitlements and use earnarks, another solution.
