Linkie.
This is actually a well written article. I only have one problem. The source he's using is only showing $2 billion dollars of federal expenditure on roads. There's no way that's even close.
According to this link (same source): They're spending about $16 billion on roads.
You'll also notice from that link that lots of our fuel taxes don't go to road funding. And, other taxes do go to road funding. I think it's odd too.
