Accurate except for the “instead” part. Road maintenance comes from local taxes, whereas military aid comes from federal taxes.
And there are literal laws of nature that would prevent that from ever changing.
I mean, potholes in my area get fixed pretty quickly, because the local government takes its job relatively seriously.
That must be nice.
