That’s part of the wisdom of the now-abandonned principle of financing roads through gas taxes as a user fee. Everyone seems to agree that paying for better roads by charging higher prices to drivers is politically unthinkable, and that reality contains wisdom. — PolitiTweet.org

I am not a big subsidiarity person, but “is investing the marginal dollar in improving roads a better idea than investing in parks or schools or just giving people more money?” seems like an area where local judgment is relevant and valuable. — PolitiTweet.org

It seems to me that if people prefer cash in their pocket to more road spending, the solution is not to tax the rich to finance the road spending but to tax the rich to put cash in people’s pockets. — PolitiTweet.org
