Right . . . private-sector ownership/operation and funding via tolls is just out of the question, of course?

If I recall, the $80B was supposed to deal with infrastructure/shovel ready jobs. Obviously it didn’t go to the highways.

elite liberals need to pay more taxes and if the GOPe is going to be so feckless and treacherous they need to pay them too.

That’s the kind of deal agreed to by Paul Ryan and Patty Murray, so no wonder Boxer can be so sure of herself. Of course, the Defense Dept. will be cut massively, but there will be plenty of special interest spending to lap that up.

Here’s a ‘creative way’ Boxer is looking at:
http://www.truckinginfo.com/channel/fuel-smarts/news/story/2014/02/fet-exemption-for-glider-kitted-trucks-might-end-irs-indicates.aspx
The Internal Revenue Service is casting its eyes on the growing glider-kitting business and seems set to begin collecting the 12% federal excise tax that most of the vehicles have been exempt from.
The National Truck Equipment Association and the National Trailer Dealers Association have each issued an alert to members, warning those in the glider business that they might soon have to begin collecting the FET from customers. The alerts stem from a recent IRS letter saying that its previous guidance should no longer be followed

Brainless Babs, dear, why don’t you just introduce legislation for what you really want? Do away with all money, and force the peons to cater to all of your desires. After all, they should be happy providing you your luxury lifestyle—as long as you feed them enough gruel and water, and keep them in heated barns—right?
Isn’t that what socialism is all about? The very few live in luxury, at the expense of the masses?

...so its going to have to be a creative way to fund this in reality
Here are some "creative ways": - Less fuel efficient cars provide more tax revenue
- Eliminate or eviscerate the EPA so refineries, drilling pipelines, fracking etc can proceed to lower the cost of driving. More driving means more taxes on gas collected.
- Lower cost of petroleum (see above) reduces cost of road construction.
- Collect a sodomy tax to offset toll on society.
- Tax fornication - California you are screwed!
- Make illegals a special class of resident and tax their earnings and benefits at 50%
- Tax politicians by the word. Inane ones at a higher rate.
- Special tax on lawyers.
- Reduce congressional session to 3 months a year.
- Eliminate all automatic spending, no budget no spending!
- For every million dollars of federal spending that exceeds revenue, congress must forfeit/be fined a dollar of pay.
- Sell Detroit to Canada.
- Move the three branches of government apart geographically so collusion, lobbying and culture of corruption are somewhat distilled.
- Don't incarcerate prisoners, make them perform restitution or die.
- Tax tattoos.
- John Roberts dunk tank - 3 throws for a $100
- Pay per view - Chuck Norris v John Kerry cage match - proceeds to build bridges to the future.
- Eliminate food stamps.
- Cut all bureaucracies by 25% and eliminate most.

Cutting spending would cut her skim.
No way is that happening.

I don’t think it will help but it would get her working for the first time in her life.
