I have come to the conclusion that the only way to encourage more of a certain type of good or service is to subsidize only a small % of the people demanding it, and exercise tough love for the rest. Think about how much the prices of homes, medical care, and universities would drop if only 10% of consumers for each could benefit from any form of government support. They would become much more affordable for most of us, simply paying out of our own pocket. [/quote]
