Over at his campaign blog, Fred Thompson weighs in on the gas tax:
Whoa now. Let's hold our horses a minute and think about the calls for new tax increases to fix our infrastructure problems. The Minneapolis bridge collapse is a tragedy, but we can't let it be used to compound other problems – which is what will happen if we're scared into raising gas taxes. As we all know, there are few things more permanent than a temporary tax. Just ask the folks who footed the cost of the Spanish-American War for the past 108 years via a federal excise tax on our phone bills.
Whole thing here.
