And suspending the gas tax is a good move.
And who pays to maintain the roads?

I'd say take it out of congress's pension fund, but that would be mean spirited. A larger weathier tax base means more federal tax receipts. The 40 or 50 billion the federal the loses from suspending the gas tax would be made up in new taxpaying jobs created.
And we need to look at the federal budget as a whole. We lose tens of billions of dollars a year in medicare and medicaid fraud. The vast majority of money spent in D.C. goes to bureaucratic costs. The money is most likely already there. But the politicians don't have the will to get it done.

How about elimnating state funded abortion? Use that money. How about the billion dollars in aid that goes to Egypt? Use that money. Perhaps eliminating programs that provide free tuition to illegals? Use that money. Maybe cutting funding to those who would put a Crucifix in piss and calling it art? Use that money..
