A billion here, a billion there, it adds up and soon you're talking real money.

Really, talking about a billion dollar subsidy is probably not worth debating in Congress, since its a trivial part of the national budget. A billion is the kind of small change we SHOULD be tossing around to encourage innovation, support an embattled industry or sustain a hard-hit segment of our population.
