If we kickoff a major infrastructure project (which the previous administration talked about, never got around to), it's going to involve citizens paying for it, that's how the world works. The cement isn't free, the construction crews aren't Habitat For Humanity volunteers. Better for working people to have their raises/bonuses, than to not have them. If someone pays $2,000 a year in tolls, it's still better to have the raise/bonus, than to not have it. Even if that raise gets eaten by tolls, it's better than if they didn't have the raise.
