Generally I am not a fan of subsidies but under the circumstances this one might make sense at least temporarily. It is an experiment someone should run I suppose at some point and now is as good a time as any. Actually it might even make sense to keep it if it can be managed well. If we got rid of all subsidies and just gave each citizen / voter a national dividend instead it would presumably simplify the government a lot and enable a lot of bureaucratic nonsense to be tossed over the side. In a way it is overdue. Universal Suffrage is something like a hundred years old, at that time we all became defacto voting shareholders in the government. A shareholder without a dividend though.
