If they raise the gasoline tax, they should use the money to subsidize shale oil development Please tell me you forgot your sarc tag.

Post of the thread.
Gas tax is per gallon and when the price goes down more gallons are sold.

How does one finance a tax cut? Never made much sense to me.
BY eliminating the gov’t program the tax is a tax FOR..
Thereby eliminating the agency AND the tax..
The US Constitution was created specifically to LIMIT federal government..
WHY?... the entire Constitution has been ELIMINATED...
Some say it’s still there.. BUT they be WRONG... it’s abrogated.. useless.. a figurehead ONLY..

In lieu of a gas tax increase, I propose defunding the EPA. That will save tons of money. Reduce corporate taxes? Eliminate them!

Gas tax is per gallon and when the price goes down you dilute it with ethanol more gallons are sold.

I’ll be very interested to see what Trey Gowdy and liberal Mia Love think of this.

Big problem here in Texas. A quarter of gas tax goes to “education”, loosely defined, etc. Ends up only a bit over a quarter goes to actually putting pavement on roads.
Bike paths and hiking trails ought to come out of general funds, unlikely we can find a way to directly tax such users. IF and a big IF we can see our way to using all gas tax for the roads on which gas powered vehicles move, I can see an increase. We are at least 20 years behind on maintanence.

Many republican lawmakers are republicans simply because the only opening in congress available at the time they decided to run was in a republican district.
Otherwise they would've preferred to run as a big government democrat.

We must improve our infrastructure and the trillions spent earlier found their way into non-shovel ready jobs, don’t you understand this? And with lower gas prices this new never-ending tax scheme will hardly be noticed by GOOBER’S stupid Americans!
Sounds like a great plan! /s

Based on similar votes earlier this week, would they not both be “liberal?”

Why Is Party Of Limited Government Pushing A Gas-Tax Hike? Because they're not really the party of limited government?

The correct question is, Why is the Republican Party still considered the party of small government?

You’d have your answer if you can spot the lie in your question.

Not at all. As long as we keep the supply increased, the price per gallon will stay down and an increase in the tax will be barely noticeable to the consumer. If shale oil fails, OPEC will, once again, have total control over the market and will quickly decrease the supply to raise the price again which will be bad for America and good for all the people we hate the most. I am normally very much for free trade and low taxes but in this case, we have too much riding on shale oil. I think an increase in the fuel taxes would be an excellent idea if, and only if, it were used to subsidize the shale oil revolution.
