   : Not only does the MTA have the largest funding it has ever had, and its   
   : funding outside of dept-services has beaten inflation by 50%. In total   
   : it is up to 15.7 billion dollars in revenue, and only 8 percent of that   
   : is from Moses Tolls and transportation fares.   
      
   The fact that the MTA may have the largest funding ever doesn't change   
   the fact that it can't afford to pay what's been promised, and has been   
   kicking the can down the road for some time now.

   Nothing is free.  People always assume the best.  This doesn't happen   
   in reality.  But soon enough that debt must be paid, but everyone's   
   opinion is, "The next guy will take care of it."  It's a pyramid   
   scheme.
