Yes, so what they'll do is reduce the budget for the MTA to offset that, then "poof"! They have new money to spend on whatever they want.

Then you simply take a loan out from the MTA fund. The same way our lottery monies are allocated towards education, but find their way to fund various pension funds.

Perhaps this new fee will be used to fund MTA’s pension liabilities, and the current spending on pensions gets allocated to food stamps.

New money never goes to where it’s said it’s supposed to go. That’s because government funding is a Ponzi scheme.

Does it truly do? Or does it go towards MTA the same way lottery and gambling revenue goes towards education budget, i.e. not really except as an accounting trick?
