If this Hood character receives ANY type of government pension, let's eliminate it. Bronco should have his pay reduced to zero as well as his expense budget. Let Moochie cook, wash dishes and clean the White Hut.
Eliminate foreign aid payments. That should fill more than just a few potholes. While at it most agencies of the central communist government should be eliminated. All taxes should be slashed to the bone and the tax on corporate products should be eliminated.
What asshats! They want Americans to use less oil then tax them for doing it!
Here's yet another ex-Illinois tax hawk pressing his thinking on the rest of the United States. Take a look at Illinois pitiful road condition; do we really want the same on a national basis?
let’s get rid of the gas tax.
They won’t be satisfied until we have fuel tax like in Europe (mostly 60-70 percent of the price at the pump).
Let’s Raise the Gas Tax’
There is a winning campaign slogan!
I suggest every democrat and rino use it.
The only man in the country with even dumber ideas for transportation than Choo Choo Obama.
Hey Hood! Tax this! (writer makes rude gesture with right hand, and middle finger, while muttering deprecating adjectives)
I thought Obama fixed all the roads in the nation with the TARP or one of those programs Ray?
Stop wasting the gas tax money on trolly cars and 70mph “High Speed Rail” boondoggles.
We can cure this by requiring everyone to buy Chevy Suburbans and drive them at least 15,000 miles per year.
How about eliminating the federal gas tax and allow states to do their Constitutional duty of handling roads. Maybe we wouldn't be running out of money if the feds weren't passing out gas tax money to every podunk town that wants to replace their curbs at intersections.

So, they raise gas taxes to punish people for driving too much, in inefficient cars. So the people drive less, in more efficient cars, and get punished for THAT!
Didn’t we just have a trillion dollar slush fund aimed at repairing infrastructure? If giving these federal a-holes a TRILLION DOLLARS didn’t fix the potholes why would I believe a few billion in gas taxes would fix the problem?
Sorry, Gov. Corbett already beat you to it.
Lieing sack of pig shit! I can have photos posted in a matter of minutes that show a strip of 3 miles of highway they decided to waste Millions on with landscaping brick/stone on curbing, a new sidewalk on both sides of the road and lights to illuminate the road in an area that is NOT RESIDENCIAL. Just outside a town of 5,000 people. Meanwhile they let the bridge in town that people need to cross to get to work fall apart.
Shovel Ready? You bet. Shoveled Millions right into one contractors pocket. Out of Area contractor even. No doubt a few dollars were "kicked back".
Last year I spent over $80,000 on diesel fuel. Of that, $8,400 was FUEL TAX.
They won’t fix roads with it, but they will spend billions on new way to track your every mile of driving SO THEY CAN TAX YOU PER MILE.
I was relieved when La Hood left DOT. Now he’s back. What a POS.
That right! The economy is on a ventilator. I think a baseball bat will finish it off.
What a genius! /sarcasm snort
Don’t forget that Obama said before ever elected his goal(besides single payer healthcare) was to get the price of gasoline up to $5 p/gal, or more, to get the public in favor of alternative fuel.
So much for shovel ready. A trillion here and a trillion there for our “crumbling” infrastructure and still liberals complain.
