FDT on the Gas Tax

FDT has just posted an article on his web site talking about the call for a $.05 per gallon gas tax to pay for bridge repairs. FDT's answer is very consistent with his pre-campaign message of "federalism". His contention is that the Fed's have micromanaged what the tax dollars get spent on and therefore redirect the funds from important projects, like bridges. Fred wants the strings cut and to allow the states to determine what projects are the priorities.

My only difference of opinion here is that the Feds need to make sure that they are not funding non-interstate road projects. In my opinion the Feds have no role in state roads.
