Pay for it with a gas tax or national sales tax.

The federal and state governments already make more money per gallon than anyone else along the entire production/distribution/retail chain.

The problem is, that money was supposed to be for roads for vehicles, but it's being spent on bike paths, choo-choo trains, green space, bus programs, and a multitude of other things that are not roads for vehicles.

When they stop frittering road taxes away, and start funneling them back to actual roads for vehicles, then I might consider paying more fuel tax to compensate for any shortfall.

“then I might consider paying more fuel tax to compensate for any shortfall. “

So, you would rather pay for this boondoggle with debt and income taxes?

How very progressive of you.
