In fact, it was the Republican-majority National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing that recommended the 10 cent/ gal increase earlier this year (before Obama took office).

Because they, and every interested observer, recognized that motorists are driving less and buying less gas, which means the taxes that are dedicated to the Highway Trust Fund aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of road/bridge repair and transit programs.

And they are as big of dicks as you and your Party are. To bad most of the problems with our roads and bridges are not a Federal issue but a state issue. Which makes your idea sound even more stupid. Tax and spend, tax and spend... How about that stimulus and all those jobs you guys have created. What was the Obama quote?....

Instead of calling people dicks, you might want to read up on the Highway Trust Fund supported by all presidents and both parties in Congress since its inception.
