1* When drivers buy gas
for the cars, some of the money is a federal gas tax that goes to the Highway
Trust Fund. Is money in the Highway Trust Fund used only for building,
maintaining, and repairing highways?
2* Regardless of the way
things are done today, should gas taxes paid into the Highway Trust Fund be
used only for building, maintaining, and repairing highways?
3* Would it be
appropriate to use some of the money in the Highway Trust Fund to help pay for
Mass Transit Systems such as trains, subways, and busses?
4* Should the cost of
building, maintaining, and repairing the Interstate Highway System be funded
entirely from gas taxes paid into the Highway Trust Fund or should the federal
government provide additional funding from the general operating budget?
5* If you knew that
federal gas taxes were used only to pay for building, maintaining, and
repairing the Interstate Highway System, would you favor or oppose a modest
increase in the gas tax to improve the quality of the highways?
