>> no, i mean, i think that it's critical that americans take responsibility for wanting to pay for things like roads and bridges, and this is a tax that will help create jobs. i don't know why we're again not looking at root problems and getting into the core of what would actually help the american people and i think we're not asking the americans to get on 300 and whatever billion dollars sucked out of them, but to reinvest in the the infrastructure of america, and to create jobs while doing it. i don't have problem with that. >> brenda: okay, gary b. you probably have a problem with it. do you think it would hurt the economy at this time to have a gas tax hike? >> it would definitely hurt the economy and eric pointed out the figures. i agree on one point. we need to fix the infrastructure. here is problem with the national gas tax, basically what it does. the money goes to the federal government and it subsidizes the states for the most part for their highway and bridge
