cents per gallon. an excise tax. we say let's shift that down to 3.7 cents per gallon and allow the states institute their revenue stream however they wish, whether it's a sales tax or excise tax, whatever is best for them, and allow them to keep their money. currently the system is, they charge that gas tax of 18.4 cents. the state sends it to the federal government. they wait and beg for the federal government to send it back, and not only do they get just a portion of it back, they're told how they have to spend it. we're saying, you know what? that's not the way we need to do things in the future. let's let states collect it, spend it however they think is best for them. >> how much support have you really got for this? >> support has been growing over the last couple of weeks tremendously because of the revelation that the highway trust fund is in essence broke, and so i have to say, we have had maybe six, seven, eight cosponsors in the last couple of days added to our bill and it's growing, and in fact let me just
