Just a thought: when the government starts giving out lots of money with strings attached, you get a lot more jobs doing administrative compliance tasks. I'm thinking of, for instance, universities and the growing numbers of administrators who exist to chase funding. More strings attached means money will go towards meeting all requirements. Maybe this isn't strictly bad, but it might be less efficient than just letting some undeserving companies get away with extra cash. I'd rather startups consist of employees focused on building their product than focused on qualifying for government grants.
