They said they had not agreed on how to pay for a $2 trillion bill to improve the nation's roads, bridges, waterways I>

What is the government doing with the trillions they have been receiving in fuel taxes FOR transportation infrastructure?

Gov doesn’t generate anything remotely close to trillions in fuel tax. It generates about $35 billion a year (or $350 billion over 10 years) at the federal level. Double that if you count state.

Building manors for themselves with eight foot stone walls and cobblestone driveways complete with security houses and round-the-clock armed security. Swimming pools, tennis courts and eight car garages...all for Congresspeople that make about $250K a year...wink, wink.
