Two senators eye gas tax hike to pay for highways and bridges

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.”

The lawmakers suggest that 10 cents of the tax increase should go to deficit reduction and 15 cents should go to funding transportation infrastructure improvements.

It is one of many tax increases Congress is likely to consider in the months ahead as it wrestles with finding ways to reduce the nation’s $1.5 trillion budget deficit.

I strongly suggest that the people in Delaware and Ohio start calling their senators.

thats what we need, to pay more at the pump....that really helped last time gas prices rose to a high level....while .25$ isn't to that level, its still a large chunk at the gas pumps that will cause the price of goods to go up etc...

dumb idea

“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.”

One cent per month for 25 months over a 3 year period.

Question: How many months are there in a year in Delaware and Ohio?

irrelevant. the TEA party stands for 'Taxed Enough Already', so it's absolutely ridiculous for any congresscritter to entertain such a moronic idea.

Hmmmmmm, let's see.
They add 1 cent per month, for 25 months, and then the increase stays in affect for the following 11 months, for a total of 3 years over all.

YEAH, I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
