Pharrell Williams hit song is Happy. The American population as a whole I bet will
not be too happy with a new Congress bipartisan bill that would raise the
federal gas tax by 12 cents per gallon, in two annual hikes of 6 cents each. The reason they are giving is for highway
road repair and bridge work. I guess I
understand the higher taxes for each of these items, because we do all benefit
from the use of the roads. Even if you are
a die-hard I don’t drive person, you eat don’t you or use the roads in some
form or another right? What I don’t agree
with is the ever increasing gas prices.
I have heard that we as Americans are sitting on a huge gas reserve and
that there is more gas under the state of North Dakota than there is in Iraq,
if that is the case why don’t we work on effectively getting the gas from here,
stop paying other countries governments money and then work on trying to wean
ourselves off of gas by the time that our gas runs out?
