This has to be a manufactured story. I can’t see anyone saying, “Oh please, don’t take away my gas taxes!”

I'm not a trucker, but even I know how stupid it would be to stop a major chunk of funding for the interstate highways. The highways are already in bad enough conditions in many areas. If they drop the gas tax and cut the funding for the highways, we might as well tell truckers "sorry, find another job" and we might as well get use to seeing the prices on food, clothes, etc. go through the roof as alternate transportation methods have to be found.

Unfortunately the liberals latched on to this "gas tax" not realizing that it's a tax that actually makes sense - i.e. it goes back into the Highway Trust Fund. The liberals also think Americans can be bought off for $40 or $50.

All these liberals supporting temporarily lifting the gas tax - notice they aren't volunteering their pet pork-barrel projects to be canceled and save the taxpayers some money.
