less gas, less tax, solution raise tax

[Gwizz]

Americans paid more for gas but bought fewer gallons. Because

Americans drove 30 billion fewer miles during the first half of this year.

Taxes are figured per gallon.   That means government received less gas taxes.

Solution increase taxes.  All in favor raise you hand.  The hands win, said the blind Democrat, now go ride the train.

Yeap.

The Democratic Chairman of the House Transportation Committee is proposing to raise gasoline taxes by 10 cents a gallon for just that reason.
