The only reason I bothered to post this thread was to alert voter/taxpayers who the real culprits are here. Forget the political propaganda and party loyalty and think about how Congress has managed to dig deeply into taxpayers pockets. They are hurting both Republicans and Democrats equally
So how does the Feds get to pay for all the highways in this country?

I must be naive cause since I began driving I thought highways were paid by the Fed tax we pay at the pump. (well at least a very high percentage)
