I also like the idea of free money from government. There seems to be a lot of like minded people who like free money, maybe we should develop a political party around that?

This isn’t free money for personal use, this is money that you legally have to spend developing that far fetched idea.

And how is that enforced? Are we going to arrest people that choose to spend the money developing some far fetched idea at a cantina in Cabo?

Grant agencies are able to enforce it (to some extent) when giving grants to R&D businesses. Through auditing and reporting.

If you're just blowing it all on holidays and fun, you're going to find it difficult to pass an audit for long. Maybe you'll have some fun for a while, but the grant tap will slow and eventually stop if you do that. Fraud charges maybe, if you push it.

You enforce the law on your citizens just like with any other citizen for any other financial crime. Usually one shows up at your door, then you go to court, etc.
