Government assistance is a balancing act between motivation and de-motivation and it’s not that easy finding the sweet spot between the two. * * *

Well, I am willing to consider that the incentive might not work- but to KNOW that it does not work, it must be tried. I'm not advocating we start paying every student in American to graduate - and that we do it tomorrow, or that we pay all women under 21 not to conceive- tomorrow, but I am suggesting we do some pilot programs and study the results. If the net change is positive, I don't care what people think might happen- we will have strong statistical evidence that their thoughts are not correlated to the real world- and that's all I'm interested in- Things that work in the real world, and have been proven to work there.
