It would be very interesting where people decide to spend their money.

I suspect after the first go-around the IRS would have to hold a bake sale to buy themselves office supplies...

Everybody would fund their own pet projects, and the infrastructure would fall apart. And then suddenly everyone would be like, "hey, how come the bridges are falling down?"

Clean pee should be required before birth control. Both would be great.

Bullshit

Clean pee?

Obama's budget includes war spending, so for PR purposes it looks worse, but it's more honest.

I would assume that with assisted procreation, it should be the same.

Whether it should be or not, I bet it's not. I doubt there's any governmental checks into the parental suitability of a fertility patient. A doctor might refuse (and this one should have), but I doubt they have an obligation to, except in remarkably obvious situations (like this one).
