"the highway bill" and bridge funds, etc. All of their road construction/maintenance is paid from their gas tax. You can't compare apples & oranges. I wouldn't know where to begin to find out how much we are taxed indirectly for funding the highway bill, local bonds issued to construct new roads and bridges, etc. My guess is the tax $$ are roughly the same but come from different sources.
