Two senators eye gas tax hike to pay for highways and bridges
A bipartisan pair of senators has urged President Obamas debt commission to consider raising the gas tax to pay for infrastructure projects.
Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and George Voinovich (R-Ohio) have written to the chairmen of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform advocating for a 25-cent per gallon tax increase.
We suggest that the commission include an increase in the federal tax on gasoline and diesel as part of your report to the president, they wrote. We suggest that the taxes be increased by one cent per month for 25 months a total of 25 cents over a three-year period.

Bi-partisan my eye! One lib and one Rino! What's "bi-partisan" in that? They don't have different views. What a joke.
For years Voinivich has been a thorn in Ohio's side. The only reason I ever voted for him, was people like Metzenbaum were worse!
That all changed in 2007, when he became so onerous, I wrote him and told him no matter what, I would never vote for him again. I must not have been the only one, because miracles of miracles, he signaled he would not run again.
At a time when the economy is so bad and so many families are hurting, what an idea! Higher taxes!
Do these liberals and Rinos ever consider that we are stretched to the limit right now?
Rush warned that those remaining were not going to learn the lesson of November 2. They aren't going to be humble. They are going to try and double down on their agenda and shove as many of their socialist ideas as they can get away with, before the new Congress is seated.
Adios Voinivich. I will NOT miss you!
