It's debatable whether this is the sort of thing governments exist to do.
- tehjoker 8y agoThat's not an argument that it won't work fwiw.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoIt is debatable, and I think it's really worth considering the argument for it. Out of all the indirect ways of paying for something, getting it funded by the government is probably the least user-hostile solution possible - it could be set up as just another public service, with zero incentive to milk people in some nonobvious way.
