By raising the per gallon federal fuel tax from a paltry 18.4 cents to 50 cents, the government would raise an extra $60 billion annually to earmark for alternative fuel research and improving public transportation, not to mention the fact it'll help to push us towards maximizing fuel efficiency and minimizing fuel consumption. Seems like short-term pain for a very long-term gain.

Now's as good a time as any. We're already trying to stretch our money further, so having to pay more for gas would really force us to cut our consumption.
No it's not
That would make sense if we weren't in such a shaky economy.
