I wonder if Obama has thought of this one yet:
A Berlin politician has come under fire for suggesting that poor people
should be encouraged to catch rats by offering them ?1 per dead rodent. The
intriguing idea entails some gnawing practical problems and has been called
"inhuman and cynical".

At the current exchange rate, that's $1.40/rat. Of course I'd have to split
that with the cats...they catch, I just dispose of the dead bodies.
