re: #500 Obdicut

Direct subsidies are very rare, Dark. And, as Ace pointed out, the form of it really doesn’t matter; it’s what we get back from it.

Directly subsidizing science research gains us a giant return on our money. It is money far, far, far better spent then a lot of tax breaks.

Which is why I said “generally”. I know there are exceptions and I said as much right at the start. However, the discussion somehow veered into a “to tax or not to tax” meme.
