Hm, I’m still sticking the gas hose in my car and pumping gas.
Lots of people are doing the same every time I’m there.
How can something be broke when it has a constant stream of incoming money?
User taxes are deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury and the amounts equivalent to these taxes are then transferred on paper to the HTF. Transfers are made at least monthly on the basis of estimates by the Secretary of the Treasury and later adjusted on the basis of actual tax receipts. Amounts in the HTF in excess of current expenditure requirements are invested in public debt securities. Until October 1, 1998, the securities were interest-bearing and interest from the securities was credited to the fund. Since that time, the HTF balance has been invested in non-interest-bearing securities. …Sounds like a slush fund indeed.

It’s easy - just spend the existing funds at a FASTER rate! It creates a ‘crisis’ which must be ‘fixed.’
These folks do not abide proper money management.
LOL. You haven't seen my wife in action with a credit card.
