I'm not unleashing squat. Give them NO more money. The attitude of "but this is a bit less of an *** raping than the alternative" is for losers.

...no, realists. In reality half of the gas tax money will be wasted - I know that, but half will be used for roads - and that is still a bargain.
The problem is when you cut off the funding people will scream, as they have here in Texas, and they will take ANYTHING, your objections not withstanding. And you will have the most oppressive, intrusive, and costly new tax ever devised (this mileage tax), shoved down your throat. And when you complain then...it will fall on deaf ears, just as it does here.
