Yeah. Ask any charity that lets donors direct money. There are things people don't want their money to go to, that simply need doing. One of many reasons pure Democracy doesn't work. Infrastructure is actually a great example. It's underfunded as it is. Infrastructure isn't 'cool.' Given 'power line maintenance' or 'repair the bridge that's about to fall' versus 'my social security check' or even 'lower taxes,' people won't check those first boxes very much.
