That's the same problem with pretty much all government programs. A recent example that has affected me is the childcare subsidy brought in by the federal government here in Canada. It was supposed to be an extra 300-900 a month to make childcare cost 10 dollars a day. Instead it has became a large bureaucracy directly ruining an ok private system that existed previously by driving up costs substantially everywhere and making the experience much worse for my kids via spurious regulation. Specifically my day home now charges 70 dollars more a month to cover the onerous additional paperwork and filing requirements of the program (I don't blame them, given the extra work I would have expected more of a cost increase), my day home had to remove perfectly fine play equipment from the backyard because it was 1800 dollar Costco play equipment rather than the multi hundred thousand dollar professional public park grade stuff, and there are a substantial number of additional bureaucrats employed by my government making more and more busy work for everyone, which may ruin the much better day home style care system in favor of large institutional day cares (up to six kids, one care giver that stays constant vs 20+ kids and a string of day care workers that can and does change regularly). If they had just given the money to the parents and kept the existing regulatory regime things would have been better, instead the government made it worse.
