SO THE US Congress has agreed on a way of funding the highway trust fund, the scheme that fixes the potholes and the bridges (and should be funded by a tax on petrol, but Congress refuses to increase that tax). The "money" is to come from a technique known as pension smoothing companies will have longer to repair their pension deficits. Since companies' pensions contributions are tax-deductible, lower contributions means more tax revenue for the government; this will fund the highways.
