Platitudinous crap, that still doesn't address the point that this bullshit money and power grab will come nowhere near "paying for itself"....You freaks would be nowhere if you couldn't tell yourselves and actually believe lies like that.
Taxpayers for Common Sense is an independent and non-partisan voice for taxpayers working to increase transparency and expose and eliminate wasteful and corrupt subsidies, earmarks, and corporate welfare.
The 500 billion collected in federal gas taxes over the past decade were supposed to be spent for upkeep of the federal interstate highway system and it obviously hasn't been

LMAO less than 6% of Biden's bill is being spent on roads and bridges. Hell less than half of the $2T (only $750B) can be even loosely defined as infrastructure. People this is Dem PORK.

The problem with many folks, is they do not understand the Department of Transportation's role in the system, nor do they understand the role of Baseline budgeting in the Federal Budget.
Why has it not produced the results what we have expected it too? It was supposed to keep up with inflation, and keep our infrastructure in good shape.
Why even have baseline budgeting and have a DoT if it does not do it's job?
Is it corruption? Is it the Federal Reserve devaluing the purchasing power quicker that the CBO estimates the cost of inflation? Whatever the problem. .. . this is a scam.
Supposedly, the taxpayer is socked with tax increases every year which goes towards infrastructure, every damn year, so where are the results?
When the right tries to reform the system, they are rebuked.
This type of Budgeting was introduced during the Clinton Admin. to be automatic, and although the right has tried to repeal it, it has always been shot down in committee.
We had two POVs in a short thread here;
Very intelligent points.
Much better than this current thread.
You've probably heard of "Baseline Budgeting", and how government big-spending addicts use it to automatically increase the amount the government spends... even without passing a budget for year after year. And you may have wondered why politicians were so eager to call some of the recent...
BASELINE BUDGETING "Baseline budgeting" is one of those Washington terms that sounds very dry and boring. In reality, baseline budgeting is one of the most sinister ways that politicians claim to cut spending when they are actually increasing spending. The Congressional Budget Office defines the...
March 19, 2019 - The details of the President's budget proposal for fiscal 2020 make it clear that, if the Trump Administration has a plan for long-term fiscal solvency of the Highway Trust Fund, they aren't presenting it in this budget

This monstrous travesty of a bill goes far beyond baseline budgeting....It's an immense spending spree that has next to nothing to do with "infrastructure" and far more to do with purposefully collapsing the system.

Funny how for some reason state and federal taxes paid at the pump never seem to go toward maintaining infrastructure. Mass transit taxes property owners and yet most if not all mass transit systems don’t break even. Local taxes passed in the name of education and school infrastructure maintenance never seem to cure budget deficiencies. So what else is new? Cronyism is the lubricant of government.
