This is a really bone-headed idea that is being proposed.
Besides having this funding for highways done by the individual states themselves and totally within the state on its own, I’m not really sure what it is that is being proposed by “conservatives” here in this article.
Not a cent of any highway fuel tax should go to Mass Transit BS, IMHO, and the tax on Diesel should vanish completely since it's really a tax we pay on absolutely everything that hits the retail shelves, not a tax on Diesel fuel other than in name. The Federal tax on Diesel should vanish just like gasoline tax which should be ended completely, not reduced to about 4 cents.
