Obama Calls For Extension Of Gas Tax To Fund Highway Construction, Repair

Ya wouldn't mind if any of this "tax" ever got spent on a road. Driving these days is close to a Survivor episode....and notice now it's always "we'll lose a million jobs"....always a million......

Though the president describes the proposal as a transportation bill, its key component is the federal gas tax, which has been 18.4 cents per gallon for nearly two decades. The money is used to fund road construction and repair, as well as other projects -- the tax costs Americans an average of $100 a year.
