Yeah! Because that's why the taxes went up! Asphalt just got more expensive! Oh goodie, because now there will never be another pothole, and universal healthcare will be free!

Oh wait, that's right. Those things aren't why the taxes increased, and we won't see any change in the things mentioned. Dang, nevermind, that sucks...
