While Washington elites push expensive electric vehicle mandates and 'smart city' nonsense, America's roads are falling apart thanks to decades of politicians treating the Highway Trust Fund like their personal piggy bank.
More than 100 economists and policy experts just delivered a wake-up call to Congress in an open letter demanding they fix the broken Highway Trust Fund before it completely collapses. But here's what they won't tell you: this mess was created by the same swamp creatures who now want to tax you more to fix their failures.
The Highway Trust Fund used to operate on a simple principle that made sense to every hardworking American: if you use the roads, you pay for them. Gas taxes funded road construction and maintenance. Clean, simple, fair.
The Government Broke What Wasn't Broken
But politicians couldn't leave well enough alone. They started raiding highway funds for their pet projects, pushing fuel efficiency standards that reduced gas tax revenue, and subsidizing electric vehicles that don't pay their fair share for road wear and tear.
Now we're stuck with the worst of both worlds: crumbling infrastructure AND a funding crisis. Meanwhile, the Biden regime spent four years throwing billions at 'smart' transportation boondoggles while potholes destroyed your car's suspension.
The economists' letter calls for 'incremental, bipartisan steps' to stabilize the fund, but Patriots know the real solution: stop letting politicians raid highway money for their green energy fantasies.
President Trump understands this crisis better than anyone. His first term delivered real infrastructure improvements by cutting red tape and focusing on results, not woke virtue signaling. Now he's back to finish the job.
Time to Rebuild America RIGHT
The Trump-Vance administration has the opportunity to restore the Highway Trust Fund's original purpose while the Republican Congress holds the purse strings. No more subsidizing coastal elites' Tesla payments while truckers pay the bills.
America needs roads that work, not roads that signal how 'progressive' we are. It's time to put American drivers first and make the people who use our infrastructure actually pay for it. Will Congress finally listen to the experts and fix this mess, or keep playing politics with your daily commute?
