From an email I received from the Club for Growth:
Speaker John Boehner's signature piece of legislation this year isn't a tax reform bill or a bill to drastically cut spending. Instead, it's a monstrous $260 billion highway bill. GOP leaders will claim that this is a great bill since it has no earmarks or "enhancement projects". Sure, that's great when you compare it to the pork-infested highway bill from 2005 that included the "Bridge to Nowhere". But there are no spending cuts in the bill, the proposal mandates union construction wages, and Speaker Boehner even wants to grab tax revenue from other sources in order to pay for the largess.
We can do much better than that. We need to devolve the highway trust fund back to the states, end the federal gas tax, and shut down the Department of Transportation. If we don't act now, Congress may never muster up the courage to do it in the future! The Club is key-voting this bill as well.
