This is just another transfer, a huge one, from the productive classes of society to the parasitic classes (esp blacks, mestizos). It might discourage gay marriages, though. The Left has gone from a philosophy of softening the blows of being an incapable and of making unproductive personal decisions--to a practice of encouraging willful incapacity and frivolous personal decision-making--not to mention luring them into the temptation of deliberately gaming the system. This both corrupts and infantilizes the population; it empowers the professorial-bureaucratic-media complex, the Cathedral. The Left has reached the point that it is now destroying wealth (not just spending it) faster than the private sector can generate it. This is the crucial inflection point that an unchecked Leftist tendency always reaches. In America, due to our innovation infrastructure and our lucky positioning in human history, and despite the concentrated, energetic, bipartisan Leftism of the last 70 years, it has proven to be an unusually long road.
