Well at the time those programs were created the tax base was capable of supporting them. Then when the tax base decreased in size significantly the city did not, in turn, change those programs to acknowledge the fact that the money simply would not be there. They were put in place on the assumption that the tax base would increase as it does in a lot of major cities. My point? I think they should be included because the government failed to take them into account, or ignored the looming problem.
