I want to break things sometimes when I hear idjits in the US get all huffy about 'government subsidies' on things like social programs or the space program.
The #1 Subsidy is the Pentagon, on behalf of big oil. The neocons have been hollering that the Iraq invasion had nothing to do with oil... but we all know better... not 'oil' per se but the power and wealth inherent via control over it.
