You'd prefer that $24 Billion of our Highway Trust Fund remain unspent?!

No. I prefer that it not be Pi$$ed away on crap. I would also prefer that funds spent on real highway programs not be subjected to the Davis-Bacon Act.

In case you are not aware, the funds in the "Highway Trust Fund" don't exist. They have been borrowed and spent just like the "funds" in the Social Security "Trust Fund".

Just more Public Debt. But it get the A$$holes votes, at your expense. Happy?

No, highway funds are completely separate from the federal budget General Fund.
