Huh? The subsidies given to the oil companies were, inexplicably, given to the oil companies. Why do they even need them now with oil at over $100 a barrell? Even they said a couple of years ago they weren't necessary.
Oh. There you go again! Don't you read anything? But I am glad you admit the oil company subsidies are a "give away". Certainly, now in this time of crisis, we definitely don't need that!
So... what subsidies are you talking about?
As to if the oil company subsidies/tax deductions/credits or whatever they are are a "give away" that depends on what they are, and I have not gotten an answer to that.
However the 14 billion look-the-other-way that GM got, that was clearly a give away.
Keep defending corporate welfare. It amuses me.
