The money for federal highway projects comes from the gasoline tax. Hence the drivers are paying for the roads and infrastructure they use

Except that even there drivers are cheated. The highway trust fund is frequently plundered by politicians to pay for "public transportation" projects (ie pork to pay off their donors)

Absolutely. Nothing is more preposterous than using proceeds from the gas tax to pay for a bloody bike path. Talk about cross purposes.

Then again any time you give a politician money, they will find a way to fritter it away no matter where it came from or what it was meant for.
