This is really a moot point, but here we go anyway.
Hiking trails draw tourist dollars to the communities through which they run. Tourist dollars equal spending that directly affects taxes collected (sales taxes) that would not normally be available; it is excess to the local tax base. Using tax dollars on hiking trails creates jobs, increases revenue for local businesses, and generates taxes to replace what has been used to build and maintain the trails.
It is an investment with return, not a deficit.

What is the importance of a compass when you go hiking?
A compass should be considered essential hiking gear and no pack is complete without one. While hiking, even on well marked trails, one can wander off and become lost. These days a GPS or even many smart phones with GPS can be used to locate yourself and find your way home. Unfortunately though, electronics can fail or break and batteries can die. A good compass will always work. Of course you should also have a map of the area you are hiking in, so the compass can be used to triangulate your position. Yet even without a map a compass will still have many valuable uses; most important among them is keeping you walking in a straight line as all humans have a tendency to walk in circle without knowing it. Check out my related link below, "Tips for hiking safely", for more about what you should bring to be safe in the woods.
