The Really Frustrating Part about Subsidies …

… is that they make themselves “necessary.”

First, after taxpayers have finished paying for the subsidies of other people's interests, they'll have less left over for their own and will need subsidies to afford them. Second, someone who refuses subsidies will be out competed by people who accept them.

At a minimum, we should avoid complaining about people criticizing our subsidies … unless they're using those subsidies as an excuse for regulations.
