10 cent per gallon tax increase on fuel?

Andrew,
Your right about the tax holiday. The money would have to come from somewhere and Hillary wanted to get the big oil companies to pay for the difference. The additional taxes pending on the gas is slated for the roads and building of such.
I'm not a huge fan of either party especially their nominees but thats what we got. That term of being between a rock and a hard spot comes to mind.
Heck, that tax holiday would have saved us thousands with the trucks we run at work. Imagine the savings for workers who fill up twice a week with those big V8's or the boaters? We are in a mess for sure.....

The road running past my subdivision was supposed to have been widened this year. That, and many other road projects in Kentucky have been put on hold indefinitely due to lack of funds. It's been pointed out what terrible condition I-65 is in between Louisville and E'town. All over Kentucky, indeed all over America, infrastructure is crumbling from neglect. It takes money to fix this stuff. Yes, a tax increase with prices already so high might not be a good idea, and it's surely going to have a hard time passing. But I don't see how we can justify a tax holiday, either, with our roads in such terrible shape.
