subsidies can be structured in a number of ways, many of which are not at all equivalent to "investments". why is it that so many people here make claims obviously well outside their actual understanding. aren't folks embarrassed by being so wrong so often so publicly? it's almost endemic to this place. sad.

Name a subsidy, and I can argue how it's an investment. Politics is preference for limited resource allocation :)
