Both are true. The MTA is terribly inefficient in its capital and operating budgets. It is also underfunded on a per capita and per $ GDP basis. Very similar things can be said about the NYC area roads, bridges, tunnels, and airports. The second avenue subway is way over-budget, will take far longer than it should have to build, and is poorly designed. But when it is finally done it will bring a lot of value to a lot of people's lives. The same cannot be said of the F35.
