Always negotiating. Anyone feel like paying an extra 4 bucks every time you gas up the Camry?

It certainly beats paying $60 a week to drive on what were free Interstates...if Trump gets his way with tolling.
But with our luck, we’ll get both.

"Trump reportedly endorses 25-cent hike in gas tax to pay for infrastructure plan"
Are alternative fuel and electric vehicles exempt? Will bike paths have toll booths?

.25 cent raise in the cost of fuel? Everything that moves by truck will go up significantly; ‘everything that moves by truck’ is defined these days as everything. So any economic gains made by us peons will be deleted, nullified, gone.

What about the ever increasing numbers of vehicles that are not using gasoline or diesel, but are using the roads?
How do they pay this extra federal road tax?

I have no objection to using a gas tax to pay for infrastructure improvement. The infrastructure proposal, unlike the vast majority of Fedgov projects, is a legitimate and necessary use of public funds. As to how to pay for it - a gas tax is far preferable to raising income taxes or to increasing the national debt by not having some kind of tax to pay for it at all.
My only condition would be having some clause to say that not a cent raised by the gas tax be used for anything other than infrastructure improvements, with a sundown clause that either phases out the gas tax or compensates it with an equal reduction in income taxes once key projects are implemented.
