Raise the Federal Gas Tax to Fund Infrastructure. A Debate
Description
The Highway Trust Fund that helps finance road, bridge, mass transit, and other infrastructure projects across the United States is running out of money. Its revenue source, the federal gasoline tax, at 18.4 cents per gallon, has not changed since 1993. Some argue that Congress should raise the gasoline tax to fund infrastructure projects. But others oppose raising the tax, arguing that states should shoulder more of the costs. Should Congress raise the federal gasoline tax?
