Good points. I thought that the “40 Billion” quoted in the article sounded made up. Additionally, the link that was provided gave excellent clarification on these “subsidies”.
Just realized my tone was a little too sarcastic. Second time that’s happened today.
Rest assured, the sarcasm was directed at obama and the “clown in the article,” not you.
That, and it’s a Monday and I’ve only has one cup of coffee, so my tone-meter is a little off...
