Budget hawks: Does US need to give gas and oil companies $41 billion a year?
Since there's so much talk about cutting spending in Washington, how about reducing the subsidies given to the gas, oil and coal industries? I say cut all of the following except for the fifth one.
Federal Subsidies
Oil and gas: $41 billion
Coal: $8 billion
Nuclear: $9 billion
Ethanol: $6 billion
Renewable fuels: $6 billion
