Yes!

As a founder of the Chicago school of economic theory, Friedman generally believed that less government intervention in the economy would lead to increased prosperity and growth. When applied to tax policy, this idea led him to an unequivocal determination: "I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever possible."

Me and 3 other neighbors have to maintain our own road. It's a pita most of the time. Potholes have to get axle deep on the truck before we can all agree to buy a truckload of gravel. Sure wish we could use some of the collected gas tax to maintain it.

heard this morning that the fed gas tax cut for 3 months will cost 25 billion in lost revenue, they would just find another way for us to support their graft and boondoggles. I have a feeling that it would lead to a use tax on per mile basis, NO THANK YOU!

gas tax is what I call an invisible tax, included in price so you don't normally think about it and I am fine with that as is.

start spreading portland cement on it, just shovel toss it and if someone has one a harrow to work it in some. it will turn it into a good road eventually, it's how they used to do road base on highways and it stabilizes the soil excellent.

How about we just end this government. Decades of utter failures by lifelong politicians has brought us here. Time to remove every single one of them.

It will make inflation worse.

Did I hear right it would only reduce the cost 18 cents per gallon? I mean I guess 5 bucks is 5 bucks but it won't help much.

The whole thing needs to be redone. When they put the road in they used that thick road bead material, but it was used and had holes in it. Then one of the guys leveled out the crown in the road because his wife's car drug when she straddled the crown. It was put down where pasture used to be, it's just deep dirt underneath.When I had piers put on a corner of my house they didn't hit resistance for 22 feet. I filled the holes with gravel over concrete one year, that patch lasted at least a couple years, but eventually even that got busted up and went through the holes in the fabric. One thing nice about the potholes, it slows down some of the delivery trucks, and the dust. LOL

The reason that the infrastructure bill is needed now is that we used to increase the tax to account for cost and inflation.
The last time we adjusted the federal fuel tax was in 1994. That is why we should not have a gas tax holiday.
Actually an adjustment every 5 or 10 years would have made more sense.

That is why toll roads have blossomed in the US. The most costly highway project.

Federal taxes go toward maintaining the Interstate highway system, state towards state highways.

Nothing wrong with toll roads, anytime you can get a tax as close as you can to the actual person using the service is a good thing. If you don’t use a toll road you’re not paying for it. Americans should have to pay their own taxes- not have withholdings. Then the 50% that actually pay would wake up and see how screwed we are. We have the most progressive tax system on Earth yet the bottom half repeat the same lies parroted by the left about the rich not paying their fair share…

You don't like our country?

this is the way, the only way.

He said government l, as in current government, he never said anything about our country-

But then, you already knew that, didn’t you-

It is a scam.

If gas tax is eliminated….they will just say they have to increase taxes on the wealthy to keep the highway fund up.

Big government socialists are in charge….redirecting taxes from their voters toward those who don’t support them is the essence of their agenda.
