I suppose Speaker Boehner is going to fight "tooth and nail" for this gas tax increase also.

Even after November, its status quo all over again.
To: jazusamo
Even some FReepers have started supporting a hike in the gas tax. Sheesh.
Stop spending the money in the general fund like SS is, and stop spending it on light rail, bike paths, and other boondoggles that have nothing to do with actual transportation.
To: jazusamo
Because they’re under the false impression that the highway trust fund must be continued, when it should be brought to zero.

Exactly...Rats and RINOs see big bucks in raising gas taxes that can be used for other pet projects.

If they raise the gasoline tax, they should use the money to subsidize shale oil development and NOTHING else. US shale oil can’t compete against Saudi oil at this price. I would support a gas tax hike if they used the revenue to keep shale oil production up.

With the RINO’s and RATS, he has got the votes.
2016 May be another throw the bums out election.

Why Is Party Of Limited Government Pushing A Gas-Tax Hike? 1) The Republicans are not the party of limited government.
2) All Members of Congress and Senators work for the leviathan state.
3) The leviathan state is past the tipping point in terms of borrowing - revenues must increase year after year just to stay afloat.
4) When the crash comes - when, not if - they all have a lamppost problem.
Does that answer the question?

How does one “finance” a tax cut? Never made much sense to me.

Well, if the GOP is serious about being a party of limited government
That’s a big IF. And the answer is they’re NOT serious.
