CJ, > A non-trivial difference, don't you think?

Given that the government already gets a lot of tax revenue from gas, we might want to first figure out where that money is going first.

Here's a hint: In California, the state gas tax is supposed to go toward repairing the roads. Except, of course, when there is a "budget emergency," which has been declared every single year for the past four or five years. A new measure just passed which will prevent the abuse of that loophole, but the people of California should have to enforce that via the initiative process in the first place.

What do you think happens at the Federal level, where there is no direct initiative or referendum process?
