Economists usually do not favor subsidies on specific products or in-kind payments to help low income people. This is because
A. in-kind payments suggest that the poor person does not have an indifference curve pattern from which to make choices.
B. a subsidy means that the recipient does not face a budget line anymore and therefore can not maximize his welfare efficiently.
C. the poor person could have increased utility if the same money used to subsidize a product would be given to them to use as they choose.
D. economists are individualists who believe that helping the needy makes them dependent.
