Before you get to stuff you need, cut out the pork

Estimates vary, but it looks like in a typical spending bill there are maybe 20% of attachments that don't need to be there, and that would not have any chance of being passed on their own, because they only benefit some small group.

Simply cutting those would reduce our budget pressure, and free up our attention to address real issues.

As far as any ADDITIONAL gas taxes, I am totally against them. ICE people are already paying them, so just put some rough equivalent on EV's.

Calculating these on per-mile-driven basis sounds like a reasonable start.
