No, but I have noticed that RWNJs have a difficult time with the truth.

Obama Proposes Tolls on Interstates Across Nation

30 Apr 2014 1012
As with many federal accounts, the Highway Trust Fund is running on empty. Refilled with the 18.4-cent per gallon gas tax and disbursed by politicians and bureaucrats in Washington, the federal highway fund faces a $63 billion shortfall through 2018.

A shortage of funds tends to concentrate the mind—which is why the White House just proposed lifting an old federal restriction against tolling on 46,000 miles of interstate roads. This would allow states to collect tolls on federal interstates for the purpose of funding repairs and expansion.

What commuters and taxpayers may think of adding tolls on top of taxes is another story however—one that takes a back seat to the powerful interests now speaking to our representatives in Washington.

Of course, we’ve seen this rodeo before: government gets bigger, borrows and spends more tax money, and then, when funds get squeezed, politicians seek ways to increase taxes, fees, or tolls for things large numbers of voters actually use or want, such as safe streets or free-flowing roads. Meanwhile, general revenue that once paid for critical items gets shifted to growing the welfare state and swelling bureaucratic power

OMIGOD! He already did it! In New York! The Thruway is a Toll Road! Yikes!

ny is a joke. everything is over taxed. we drive across the border to NJ for gas and pay $.35 - $.40 less per gallon. no tax on clothing. less tax on food.

Nope. That's a few thousand miles from here, and Dad got that when she died. Try again.

Are liberals wanting to tax the little guy who drives his family across country? I thought we wanted to go after the rich?

Because al gores lockbox is a hoax. The govt puts all revenue into general funds. Gas tax, social security and they still need more, wtf???

In this case we're taxing the people who use what was built. Makes sense right?

Has absolutely nothing to do with the OP. Want to try stay on topic which is tolling the interstate system?

 

[koshergrl]

They want to restrict and monitor who is moving back and forth. This is what communism looks like. Get used to it.

In case you hadn't noticed, we aren't maintaining our infrastructure, or paying all our bills without borrowed money. That's a poor plan, on both accounts.

No, it forcing people to pay over and over for what they already paid for. It's not our problem the feds can't manage money, well I guess they are trying to make it our problem aren't they?
