How does one decide who to fund? You're going to have every half-baked 'researcher' getting in line for their free funding. A whole industry of lawyers and consultants will pop up specializing in gaming the system to get funding for their clients. I don't trust any system designed around spending other people's money. It inevitably leads to waste and corruption.
