Certainly not. The OP realizes...very little.And does the OP realize the liquidity issue it would create for many of these people?
PA raised their gas tax a lot-I think it doubled-to "repair infrastructure."The problem is that the money geared for roads does not go there. So many port authorities and road authorities and authorities all over the place. Getting their cut. Toll roads looking like shit even if they are collecting fees. Many of them supposedly to stop tolls after their paid off. Crossing bridges are expensive due to the corruption of these authorities. Especially when they get into the urban renewal game that does nothing. This is one reason we get a small percentage of real infrastructure done compared to other parts of the world today.
The money went to bike trails that nobody uses.
medicare has lower overhead than private insurance, just as an example off the top of my head.
Medicare also pays peanuts, to the point that many doctors either don't take it or limit it greatly, because they LOSE money.
