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.
One more time. Reeeeaaaalllll slow.
GM is repaying the government back. That's a loan and an investment, not a giveaway.
The oil company's 14b? That's a yearly giveaway, not an investment. All the government, and we tqxpayers, get out of that is a sore ass, some messy sheets, and a post-coital cigarette.
