Jerry Brown, learn to count, please

Jerry raises gas taxes because cars emit CO2, by burning gas. He uses the tax to build passenger rail which emits more CO2 as all studies have shown.  Now he discovers cars do not emit enough CO2 to pay for the CO2 the train is going to emit! So he has to tax cars by the mile, because they are not global warmers!

Jerry, can you learn to count please!

KPCC: California lawmakers are looking at new ways to pay for crumbling roads, bridges and highways as the traditional repair fund from gasoline taxes dries up.

Revenue from gasoline taxes have been sliding as more fuel-efficient and electric cars hit aging roads. That's contributing to an annual $5.9 billion backlog in state highway repairs.
Gov. Jerry Brown's administration is studying whether to tax drivers by miles traveled instead of gas guzzled. Changing the system could take more than five years, and lawmakers are calling for more money to repave roads and fill potholes in the meantime.
They are considering a dollar-a-week fee on most drivers, a temporary gas tax hike, re-directing money used to pay off state debt back to road projects and converting carpool lanes into paid toll ways
