Nitpick:"In 1945, when Congress relieved railroads of their obligation to provide the government with reduced rates. Releasing someone from a contractual obligation for free is called a subsidy. So in an effort to "prove" railroads aren't subsidised, you provide examples of the subsidies they were given. Nice one. You really much logic, don'tcha? This isn't anymore of a subsidy than this logical leap: the mob stops charging you protection money therefore, the mob is giving you money It was a relaxed requirement, meaning they took a leech off the RR's bottom line. The person who removes the leeches from the patient is not giving them more blood. Subsidy is cold hard cash. |
