The plan offered by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., would raise the 18.4-cents-a-gallon federal gas tax and 24.4-cents-a- gallon diesel tax each by 12 cents over the next two years, and then index the taxes to keep pace with inflation. The increase would be applied in two increments of 6 cents each.
The plan was immediately embraced by industry and transportation advocacy groups seeking a long-term means to keep the federal Highway Trust Fund solvent. However, it would require a lot of heavy lifting from Congress in the politically-charged atmosphere of an election year to pass such a plan before late August, when the trust fund is forecast to go broke.

We already have gas prices moving close to $4.00 a gallon and these idiots want to raise the price 12 cents more.
These two are complete idiots who are stupid to the cost of gas now days.
I'm not surprised a Democrat would support this but a Republican does?
May the Republican receive a bag of flaming bag of dog poop on his front porch.
