Some of us are just so ####ing jaded because we know exactly what will happen. In 2 years the UCP will claim we have no money, and cuts have to be made. Healthcare gets slashed and privatized, services go downhill, and we all get to look at how many hundreds of millions of dollars went to a shiny arena for millionaires to play for billionaires, while we wait 3 years to see a specialist(or shortcut the line with cash!).
If money was unlimited, it wouldn't matter. But dollars have to be allocated, and because we elect people to budget and spend where appropriate, well, this just ends up screwing us down the road.
Frankly, I find it pathetic that this even needs to be pointed out, as it happens so often I just assume you all are goldfish.
