federal subsidies
State financial aid
Federal subsidies are financial assistance provided by the national government to individuals, businesses, industries, or state and local governments.
These payments typically aim to promote activities deemed beneficial to the public interest, such as agricultural production, renewable energy development, housing, or healthcare.
Federal subsidies can take various forms including direct payments, tax breaks, low-interest loans, and price supports.
Farmers have long depended on federal subsidies to stay competitive.
