Notice how the DROPPING DOLLAR is never a cause, readers?
"House backs $8 billion infusion to highway trust fund
The trust fund, created in 1956, relies on the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents a gallon, or 24.3 cents for diesel. Just three years ago it had a surplus of more than $10 billion, but the balance has deteriorated as higher gas prices have reduced vehicle miles traveled and induced people to drive more fuel-efficient vehicles. Another factor is that the gas tax has stayed the same level since 1993 despite inflation and rapidly rising construction costs."
Oh, and I'M NOT BUYING all the EXCUSES for the shortfall.
We KNOW WHERE that MONEY HAS GONE (like every penny this government has)!!!
I'll spell it out for you:
W-A-R!!!!!!
