i think our government should do the refining prices better to tamp down the price of gas. it hasn't been hiked since 1993. it is not adjusted for inflation . the truth of the matter it funds the highway trust fund and we are seeing a major budgetary short fall. >> actually mike, it is not a bad point. if the federal government has been coming in to fill that gap without this gas tax going up, is this one tax that maybe should go up. >> no, john is right. at a time when personal income is falling, we don't want to raise the cost of the living for people. that would be terrible. moms drives kids around and people driving to work. the federal government raids the trust fund. >> like social security, right. >> it is not like the increase
