NO.The railroads paid the government over time for land granted to them that cost government nothing. THERE WAS NO SUBSIDY FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO THE RAILROAD BECAUSE NO CASH FLOWED FROM THE GOVERNMENT. You are totally unable to demonstrate how much money the government handed the railroad in subsidies, because the answer is ZERO. PRIVATE INVESTORS AND CUSTOMERS is where railroads got their cash, NOT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. If anything, the RR subsidized the government. What you are showing if that you are clueless as to what a subsidy is. |
