My wife and I can't have children. We are going to adopt.... a dog. It will cost us $1000. The dog will improve the quality of our life immensely and hopefully the dog will become a contributing member of society... but then again who can say for sure how the dog will turn out?
I think society should pay for my dog. Its only fair. Its my turn now.

Ah yes, the token "I have absolutely no clue what I am talking about and am unable to backup my stance on this, so I am going to make fun of other people's misfortune by using a ridiculous example" post.
Stay classy.
Back on topic - I like the idea of using a government funded foundation like Generations of Hope to decide who gets subsidized and by how much. They have a fairly intense screening procedure and would most likely do a better job of keeping the overhead to a minimum.
