Having dedicated funds go to a specific purpose is foolish. It literally can't be any better than spending it on the most needed item, by definition. If that happens to be the most needed item now, then great, tell people that, and if that changes in the future then its easier to switch.

No that's wrong sorry. Moneys raised by taxing gas at the pump goes to infrastructure related to driving, like a toll. Moneys collected from carbon activity should go to projects that will assist in getting us off fossil fuels.
