“As to the first items you mentioned, we are in total agreement. Those were items that should have been added to the trust fund, and they make up the difference between the $196 billion in gas tax revenues and the $214 billion. So there is no disagreement there. But as to the last two items, you could argue that the schools and churches and States and cities should have been paying the gas tax all along and that if they do pay it, it should go to the highway trust fund. That is true. You can argue that. But we are not going to collect it from them. We are not going to make them pay. I suppose what you could say is, from now on churches and schools and cities and States have to pay the gas tax. And when they pay it, it should go to the highway trust funds. We are not saying that. We are going to deem that they have to pay it, but they don't actually have to pay it. There is no real money there.”
