I wish the government would give me seventy million, but I guess that's not gonna happen, because I don't own any congressmen.
Another source has it even higher: http://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/...industries
Somehow, their opposition to subsidies hasn't manifested itself in their corporate behavior. I wonder why?

That being said they don't reject them either because that would put them at a competitive disadvantage. The mortgage interest deduction is a subsidy to those who have mortgages at the expense of those who do not have mortgages. I find this to be unfair, yet I still claim the deduction because it would be stupid not too.
Kind of like Ayn Rand -- bitterly opposed to "moochers" and Social Security and public health care, until she was broke and ill.
She sure lined up at the trough then, now didn't she?
