“I can understand somewhat subsidizing an industry that is creating jobs here in the United States of America. I think that that sometimes is good public policy. But to me here we have a law, a program, which is costing the American citizens more money not only out of their pocket directly but in taxes; as I said earlier, even more importantly, costing us jobs in this country. It has to be an absolute minute minority of American citizens that benefit out of this program at the expense of all the other American citizens, and really something should be done about this. As I say, as far as public policy, if an industry is going to be subsidized in this country in some way, shape or form, then they should be creating economic development; they should be creating jobs.”
