Subsidize anything and you will get more of it. Birds taught me more about economics, at age 16, than Obama economica will ever teach. A few birds emptied my small bird feeder in three days. I did not want to refill it so often, so I got a bigger bird feeder. More birds emptied the new feeder faster. I did not learn initially, so I built a big feeding tray. Still more birds emptied it still faster. I then decided that I could not afford free food for all birds and stopped.

When a freeze caused a massive fish kill, over fed vultures completely blanketed every tree in a very large area. Early federal Head Start and similar CPA audits quickly showed these programs also rewarded big spenders, regardless of fraud and waste.

We cannot afford to feed all the vultures that flock to get unemployment and welfare, without effective means testing, enforcement and incentives to get them to STOP. Of course, these vultures will fight to keep their poisonous carrion, at the ballot box and otherwise.
