> The default situation is whatever was yesterday.
If Amazon delivered you a TV yesterday that doesn’t suddenly become the default where you can expect another one today and every day after that.
The US government does a new budget every year, making every year a new ballgame.
No but if a TV was in my house yesterday I’d bet that it’ll be there today.
And my point about there being no natural state of subsidies is more important.
Those subsidies lasted a long time, but just as with a TV they didn’t last forever.
So if your argument is some subsidy will probably happen next year sure, but individual subsidies change over time. No specific subsidy is the default.
This doesn’t seem connected at all to your previous claim. You said that the default is an absence of subsidies?
