'SO STUPID!' GOP Sen. Corker wants to help raise the gas tax

They’ve got to keep feeding the beast, to the tune of $164 billion over the next decade:

Via WVLT, Knoxville:

Two senators unveiled a bipartisan plan Wednesday to raise federal gasoline and diesel taxes for the first time in more than two decades, pitching the proposal as a solution to Congress’ struggle to pay for highway and transit programs.

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 by 12 cents each over the next two years, and then index the taxes to keep pace with inflation.

The plan also calls for offsetting the tax increases with other [tax] cuts. Senators said that could be done by permanently extending six federal tax breaks that expired this year, but they indicated they would be open to other suggestions for offsets.

Yep, we can always count on Big Government to do what’s best — for itself, that is. Screw the taxpayers.
