Still not seeing any subsidies. Subtracting costs from revenue is not a subsidy.

I don't see a mention of subsidies. Any details?

That's not what a subsidy is.

Absence of tax is not a subsidy. A subsidy is when something is cheaper than it should be because the government picks up some of the costs.

Subsidy is not price control.

That's worldwide, not US. No one seems to know what these "subsidies" are in the US context other than vague complaints about tax treatment of profits. The numbers are never netted out of, eg, fuel tax either.

I fail to see how the OP was incorrect at all. A subsidy is funding.

I'd guess this is because of price regulation, not subsidy.

You pay for something; that's not a subsidy.

Tax dollars, yes but not as any kind of subsidy.

#7 isn't really a subsidy

it's a subsidy vs a tax.

Reducing taxes is not a subsidy...

iso-8859-1 | karma 1561 | avg karma 2.84 · | 2020-05-12 01:30:17+00:00

Hardly a subsidy if it can't be spent ;)
