  1. There does need to be some equilibrium. Yes it hits poor people the most because they tend to drive older and less efficient cars. At the same time, it really needs to be indexed to inflation the next time they decide to adjust it. I don't think they should do it all at once to the 50c+ that is being discussed here.
  2. That's exactly what it will do. Plus, the options that we do get will be more expensive.
  3. The Feds cover a portion most interstates and some national highways. However, the funds are dispersed to the states to administer those highways within their boundaries. So, for example, I-80 across PA is maintained by PA, but paid for partially by the Feds. That's why when you cross the border on I-80 into Ohio, the quality of the road immediately improves. If you're seeing a lot of construction, it also could be the Biden Infrastructure plan. I love that they moved fast with funding these projects, but at least in my area, they seem to have started them all at once and made getting around very difficult.
  4. I think the 18.3c needs to increase too if we're already having to shift money around to cover things. And we're not even covering everything with that. The state of bridges here in PA is horrible. They just reduced traffic on a bridge here because they found serious defects. It's a major interstate artery through the city.
