So does the Fed Govt cut them a check to do this? Allowing someone to keep their own money rather then send it to the Govt is NOT a subsidy. A subsidy is when the Feds gives money from the Treasury TO a company. For example, we subsidies multi millionaire who happen to own farms. We actually give them money from the Fed Treasury. Allowing Oil Companies to not be taxes as much as they might be is NOT a "Subsidy"
I didn't think so, either, but the dems use the terms subsidy and tax break interchangeably in this report. They're playing Merriam-Webster to present an issue as they want it viewed.
Subsidy was a term used by Pelosi, Chris Van Hollen (D) Maryland and the reporter.
