    My point is this, when government, albeit for a righteous cause, gets involved in giving financial benefits I feel causes more harm than good.

    Take for example the housing fiasco where the government thought it was a good idea for everyone to own a house "The American Dream". Made policies to allow for anyone to obtain a loan and get into home ownership. What did that fiasco create... a bubble. Loans going to people that had no reason of getting one... and an newly government created/manufactured industry in the private sector that saw an opportunity to get easy money from a government mandated program... leads to fraud and manipulation.

    We will be seeing this come to a head in the college system, where the government has stuck its nose in and said everyone deserves to go to college and now gives loans to anyone with a pulse. Why do you think college tuition goes up astronomically every year? Because the institutions know that the loans are there to be given, easy money.
