IS no on else going to say it?

Then I WILL!

How about all that fuel tax money that, instead of going to roads, has been diverted to one so-called “Mass transit” program or another???

What could we have done with our highways if we hadn’t been p*ssing that money down a public-works rathole?

And how about not wasting billions of tax dollars on congressional pork vote-buying earmarks and using that money on infrastructure?

Roger that!

Here in the Keystone State the "Governor of Philadelphia" just convinced the state legistlature to put toll booths on Interstae 80, which runs through rural, "red county", flyover country to fund the mass transit system in the Phildelphia area. And the bozos bought it!

Been wondering the same thing..... Trucking companies pay ENORMOUS taxes that are supposed to go to highways. If I’m not mistaken, taxes on gas, diesel, etc are supposed to go to highways.
I heard one guy on one of Fox News’ financial shows (wish I could remember his name....) say that alot of the highway money goes to pension funds and stuff like that - absolutely NOTHING to do with the highways and bridges.....

That category includes roads and bridges, tunnels, right?
