This takes the cake

As long as you have an alternative to letting people starve, or having the children of people who do not behave, starve. Otherwise it's fine with me.

I think we should pay kids to finish high school. I think we should pay kids for not having babies. I think it should be a pretty big chunk of change- because when the kids DO go wrong, they end up costing us so much money, that prevention looks cheap. I found that as little as five dollars was an incentive to high school students to read every day. I think 1000 dollars for finishing high school with a "c" average would be a cheap price to pay if it motivated students. And how about 500 a year in certain "economic development zones" for girls who don't get pregnant?
