How to deal with a crumbling roads... (gas price, healthcare, highway)

[JordanJP]

None. How about governments at all levels get their financial houses in order before coming after me for more money (which will inevitably be squandered by overpaying contractors, used elsewhere, or misused).

Actually thats not true at all.

Impose a hot air tax on Washington DC.

charge 25% tariffs on all those cheap azz china goods to fund homeland infrastructure..

[HappyTexan]

There's no crumbling infrastructure..the stimulus took care of all that and fixed it.
Why just look at all the turtle crossings all over the US.

Let the feds handle the interstates and the states handle the state roads. Seems fair enough.

A good start would be a fair accounting of the current gas taxes. I bet much of it is siphoned off for other uses.

[Frank DeForrest]

Only sixty percent of the gas tax goes towards infrastructure, the rest is skimmed for other pet projects.
