there ya go. Money management. stop the waste. Besides is about 24 months the government will have about 3 billion dollars extra from the military, there should be plenty of money for roads, but they will pi$$ that way in a week or two
Or maybe reduce the deficit with it.
That was a joke.

Back to funding roads, should not the people that use it pay for it?
Is it beyond your ability to be rational? Taxation on gasoline and other fuels used for vehicles on the road is already the excuse government uses for collecting revenue from those who use the highways. There is simply no rational reason to have another tax, just to keep from inceasing the tax for the same purpose that is already being abused by government and labor unions for "highway robbery".
It's like you just can't stop yourself from screaming what a leftist socialist you are. Wouldn't you rather go listen to a radio station playing only music from a genre that you like best rather than continuing to spew out Socialist commentaries on things that happen in the U.S.? OH! That's right! Your radio stations must play what Canadian government dictates that they play.
Plenty of money for the roads, not enough for corruption.
printer2, I have lived in IL for 43 years, and the roads have been under construction for 43 years. There is a 50 mile stretch of I90 which was in fine shape. The state received TARP money and needed to spend it. They bragged with roadsigns the money was part of the "reinvestment" act. They tore up sections of a recently paved road and repaved it, finishing it last year. OK fine. IL received more federal money and has torn up the road again, to widen it this time, to be completed in 2016. The same thing has happened on local roads as well with the county taking credit for the so called improvements. Maybe IL is an exception to the norm, but I'm guessing most other states are not too far off. The money is being used to pay for corruption. Now, try and get the cappilary roads fixed in Chicago, hahahahahaha.
When I moved to PA, I was told that there were two seasons; winter and road construction. PA keeps labor unions able to fund PA politico's by making sure there are always road crews making it more difficult for everyone to travel around PA.
Govt beaurocracies ALWAYS cost a bunch of $$$ just to run... before one cent gets to what the govt organization is supposed to do. Now it seems to me... If we already have one bloated and wasteful beaurocracy collecting fuel taxes... why the H*LL do we need another bloated and wasteful beaurocracy wasting yet MORE $$$... just so we can say we are doing something. This makes less sense that giving BHO an unlimited blank check to spend.

Is it beyond your ability to be civil. Go sit on something.

Nothing about being a leftist or elitist, just calling you a jerk for acting like one.
Of course you would think it is ok for you to call me names. I keep making the mistake of attempting to engage you in rational conversation, but it always ends up with you calling me names while complaining that I somehow offended you. I will try again to not respond to you.

Are we gonna do this or what?
I think you know I like you a lot
But you're 'bout to miss your shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not?"
