I don't get a readable article at the link. It's all redacted, maybe because I'm not a subscriber. But from what I see in your comment, I don't understand classifying military bases or highway maintenance as a subsidy.

I have a friend who farms in eastern Washington and actually campaigned against subsidies in the last election. He explained that it is a program out of control and the way it exists now causes everyone to take the benefits because they would not be able to compete without them. The only way to stop it to kill it all in one blow.

Well, try to cut those funds and the states sure as heck act as if it’s a subsidy they’re entitled to.

Military bases and interstate highways are not subsidies true, but maintianing them is still federal spending....al of which is beyond out of control...not just subsidies...
