Right. Governments have used the same tricks with lotteries and bonds allocated to specific programs. People vote for these revenue generating methods to fund the programs, and the governments can then divert the money that was previously funding the programs into less popular sinkholes.

Exactly, which is why buying a homeless drug addict a coffee and a sandwich means he can shift that money into drugs.
And why "humanitarian aid" to countries at war allows budgets to be shifted to weapons instead of food and medical supplies.
Sometimes you just can't do the seemingly obvious "right thing"
