Doesn't Sean Duffy realize that the monies derived from the Federal Gas Tax makes it possible to keep the Interstate Highway systems running? As well as the monies to states to maintain their roads and transportation infrastructure?

I have traveled around this country. A state is only as good as the roads it maintains. I remember when a section of I-35 went down in Minneapolis. Then Governor Tim Pawlenty was against State monies being raised for its portion of the Interstate rebuild. Not good times.
