Some of that money is being spent on things, as I said earlier, like bike paths or trails. Some is being spent on museums, on restoring lighthouses, as I indicated.
Let's stop having a hissy fit over what the OP did or did not do right--the Secretary of Transportation is an idiot who exceeds the OP in her deficits by far. Maybe we should burn her in effigy. . .
ding ding ding!
I don't like that the museums or lighthouse restorations are part of the gas tax budget. I say spend 15% on bike lanes and a national ad campaign to get fat ass lazy Americans out of their cars and on a bike.
