They subsidize fuel so energy will be cheaper for consumers. It’s progressive policy.

Fossil Fuel Subsidies Five Times Greater Than Pledges To Help Developing Nations

On the other hand, revoking the subsidies to restrict use is just as bad and just as regressive as discouraging use by imposing taxes on fuel.

The rich will still have all the heating oil and gas and all the gasoline they could possibly want and will continue to squander at will while the rest of us would suck out even more than we already are because of prices that have been allowed to rise.

Restrictions on the use of fossil fuels, if imposed at all, need to be of such a kind as to avoid dumping the costs quite so heavily on the ordinary folks of America, thank you.

As for foreign aid, I say phooey.

That, too, will come out of the hide of ordinary Americans.

The globo-left, including (especially?) the cosmopolitan liberals, is in this as in so many other ways not the friend, but the enemy, of the American working man, favoring the advantage of foreigners at our expense.

Think of this and of food prices for the consumer, when next you hear them wailing about subsidies paid to American farmers, the point of which is to assure an abundant and reliable supply of cheap, nutritious food for the American people.
