The state takes gas tax as well for the state roads by the way.
And if any of you read the link I posted it does indeed say that:
"From 2008 to 2010, Congress authorized the transfer of $35 billion from the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury to keep the trust fund solvent"
In other words: YES the federal Hwy. Fund is funded via the National Sales Tax on Gasoline.
In 2008, fuel efficiency + less driving = lower revenue. So now they need to raise the gas tax to keep the money rolling in at previous levels.
And my point STILL remains...my income taxes go to pay for a bloated govt.s payroll for lifetime/carreer politicians and the lifestlyes they lead (limos, private jets, etc.) and then a HUGE chunk to pay for out over-bloated monster war machine military to kill people world-wide.
