Gas Tax Increase - 2009-01-07 16:45:22

First of all you give the idea that some how the government & its agents care about consumers, which is absolutly incorrect. If they cut some of the pet projects/pork barrel of congress a gas tax would not be necessary to raise road funding, but we know that will never happen. We, the American consumers, have been slapped in the face so often what makes you think anything will ever change. If I sound bitter it is only based upon the history of our local, state and federal government (s).
