If we did the same thing, regardless of how needy the reciepent might be, we would be jailed as thieves!
I doubt this is what our framers had in mind when they put in the “provide for the general welfare” clause in our Constitution!

The oil subsidies should be stopped as well.

Subsidies are a political, economic, social and exponential LOSER, regardless of who re-distributes them.

These kinds of subsidies can only represent the unnatural picking of winners and losers, and the untenable position of government’s natural inclination to dictate and control other people’s prosperity. Contempt and resentment are their creation, and failure and blame are their results.

When government re-distributes the assets of others, it must justify and manipulate its decisions in an attempt to control prices, wage rates, unemployment, employment, duration of employment or unemployment, training, etc. And by doing so, it is only the fittest and most efficient potential players and pathways that get blocked, discouraged and ultimately destroyed before they can even get started or branch out to the greater benefit of the many.
