That's actually the point. Fire and police and roads are all very, very cheap compared to wars, nation building, etc.

People are tired of paying for things that they don't agree with. I can't say that I blame them too much.

What do you see nation-building as, if things like roads aren't part of it?

I think they mean nation building as trying to install certain governments in countries on the other side of the world, toppling heads of state, etc.
