Thanks to the $1.5 trillion tax cut your president passed for himself and his buddies you now have both.

The tax cut put more money in the pockets of just about everyone.  I know my pay increased.  

As far as a $.25 gas tax, I guess it really depends on how the funds are allocated.  If it goes to fund the already bloated bureaucracy, it’s not a good thing. If it’s going directly toward infrastructure improvements, it’s a good thing.  We need more details.  

Revenues to the federal government have been at record highs, so it seems to me targeted spending cuts could alleviate the need for an increased gas tax.  But, getting anyone in DC to agree to real spending cuts is about the same as finding a real unicorn or capturing Bigfoot.
