Democraps want to raise the federal excise tax by .10 cents a gallon. Where do we get these jerks from.

In this mornings Sunday paper an article indicates both sides are considering raising gas taxes ten cents and diesel 24.5 cents per gallon. The culprit... lobbying from the highway construction industry who claims they will lose jobs if nine million more isn't raised for road work. Its a trade off..we've already lost jobs in many industries because of high gas and shipping prices so why sacrifice jobs in many indusries to support the highway construction crews? Ed Nichols

It's not the crews so much as the companies.

Gov't contracts have for too long been seen as windfalls to companies.

Get a Gov't contract for 6 -10 times what it actually costs to do a job, and it's easy to justify paying a part of that enormous profit to Senator "Good Ol Boy" to push the spending bill through.

And you thought kickbacks only happened in Africa.
