I have a much more rational but disturbing explanation.
They intend to raise gasoline taxes, probably in a lame duck session after the election in November.
One of the clowns leaving heads up the Transportation Committee which would put the new tax bill onto the floor of the House.
Congressman Bill Shuster of PA was talking about this gas tax as a means to fund infrastructure earlier this year.
That exact thing happened in Georgia. A State Senator pushed a 30cents/gallon tax thru the legislature, to fund the states Infrastructure Fund. Of course, there was some opposition and people pushed for either a, 2cent-sales tax or 30%/gallon tax.
The 30%/gallon was shot down because the monies would fluctuate with the price of gas. 30cents/gallon was the same every gallon.
2cent sales tax was shot down because he and his supporters said that drivers should bear the brunt of it, since they’re the ones using the roads. Of course, no one else used the roads. No one else buys products that were delivered by truck, cars, vans, etc. Everyone else lives off the grid, grows their own food and makes their own clothes.
When he was pushing for it, he stated that if his constituents didn’t like it, they could just not vote for him. It passed, was signed into law by the scumbag governor and lo and behold, the Senator resigned the next day. He had a handpicked successor who lost in an embarrassing fashion in the special election. The guy who won the seat, who railed against the tax, has yet to do anything to repeal it.

KICK OUT the illegals in all categories & you will have more than enough money to build infrastructure & build the wall.
You cannot save a sinking boat without plugging up the leaks.
