The gas tax has not been raised in decades. The money that was there was taken out and spent elsewhere, and really wasn't enough as is. Highways and such are subsidized by XYZ funding from whatever jurisdictions can and will kick in cash.

I agree with your sentiment, but using the gas tax as your basis was way, way off. Long story short. We would not have highways if they were only paid for by the gas tax.

Please… No more ignorance.
