    I don’t have a problem with subsidizing them. I have a problem with subsidizing them without requiring the money to go to things with utility like R&D and bringing down production costs. If we did that, I’d be fine with it. The U.S. has a long history of government partnering with private industry on science and engineering. The problem here is that science and engineering weren’t being paid for.
