NO!!!
No more government subsidies of private industry. Not even for the ones that pays my wages.
If you want to harm private business, just ask the government to help them.

I don’t like the idea of a subsidy, but this would be a good time to consider a $5 tariff on Eastern Hemisphere oil. Just enough to make domestic production marginally more profitable. It would be worth it, IMHO, for the added stability it could lend to domestic oil production.It would make a difference at $50 per barrel, less so at $100. But it doesn’t look like $100 per bbl is an imminent prospect anyway. And the more we keep our domestic production in business, the harder it will be in the future for the price to go stratospheric on us again.
Full disclosure, my ox is getting gored by the price drop. Which I’m happy to see at the pump, tho . . . for myself but also for you.
