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.
And my point about there being no natural state of subsidies is more important.
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.
For any specific situation the default is no subsidy.
With millions of situations some of them are not going to be at the default.
In 500 years will some specific things be subsidized? Vs in 500 years will something be subsidized?
