WASHINGTON _ The Trump administration and congressional Democrats have found something they agree on _ and it could mean higher taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel.
Last week, President Donald Trump's energy secretary, Elaine Chao, told senators that a gas tax hike was on the table when asked whether the White House would support such a move.
And this week, Democrats are indicating that they too are ready to consider a tax increase _ an effort that would fund publicly popular infrastructure improvements but has hit a hard wall of opposition for years from fiscal conservatives and advocates for low-income people alike.
