The cost to the government may be lower than fixing potholes in asphalt, but not necessarily to the people driving cars.

So you're saying the total cost is lower, and borne only by the people incurring it, not every taxpayer?

I... uh... were you disagreeing with the person above you?

No he didn't say the total cost is lower, he said one side is lower and one higher. He was completely ambiguous (and I have no additional knowledge to add) about which cost changed more.
