Notice the total disinterest by the media? We never heard the end of it when Bush was in office. Look at this article from 2007. Prices have more than doubled since then!!!

Add licensing costs to the electric cars that aren’t paying THEIR FAIR SHARE of highway funds.

Elites are all for it.
The middle and lower classes, not so much.
Me thinks the next American Revolution will have more of a French Revolution flavor to it, if you know what I mean...

Don’t they realize that Obama’s lack of policy in Iraq will add 12cents times 10 to gas prices causing another energy crisis?

And the push for hybrids and electric cars??? What taxes will they pay???
And I like the bovine excrement that they will cut taxes elsewhere when these highway taxes are raised. Yeah, sure they will.

"The plan offered by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., would raise the 18.4-cents-a-gallon federal gas tax and 24.4-cents-a-gallon diesel tax by 12 cents each over the next two years, and then index the taxes to keep pace with inflation." Oh gee, thanks a million Bob Corker, RINO (aka, Democrat/Obama Collaborator) - Tenn.

Hope the two don’t find out what the vultures shoved through in MD. A 6% SALES tax of fuel.
Absolutely ZERO incentive to find ways to lower gas cost.

Good idea. It’s not like the fiasco in the Middle East is going to cause prices to skyrocket.

Two senators unveiled a bipartisan plan Wednesday to raise federal gasoline and diesel taxes for the first time in more than two decades, pitching the proposal as a solution to Congress struggle to pay for highway and transit programsHow about ... NOT USING HIGHWAY TAXES TO PAY FOR "TRANSIT PROGRAMS" ...
Transit programs don't benefit highway users (and don't bother to repeat the bullsh!t about taking the burden off the roads. That's just crap) How about making TRANST programs pay for themselves.

The problem isn’t too little revenue, it’s WAY too much spending. We need to cut spending by $400B next year, $200B the following year, and then start looking for the hard cuts.

F-EM.
I REALLY HATE these people, they should be repealing the gas tax, not increasing it. Gasoline is already eating into my budget!

Utter insanity. Corker is an a@@, and playing ball with the lefties so he and his crony buddies are on the inside track for securing the TVA for themselves.

Congress has the taxpayers pay for the cars they drive and have the assistants to gas up the vehicles. These 2 do not have a clue what it costs to own a vehicle.
To: Olog-hai
I guess the Senators forgot that spending bills must start in the House. How about this plan? Cut the spending from all the “Gibs me dat” bills. Then we may talk.
