Subsidies cause a surplus, sometimes of prodcuts, sometimes of labor. If you subsidize things, then you have a surplus of labor, meaning people will be out of work. So you then have to give them money so they can survive. To solve the problem of surplus labor via subsidies (money given out) you have to give out more money. Subsidies are bad: They cause the market which would otherwise correct itself to become messed with. They cause unemployment. They cause a suplus of products which unemployed people probably cant afford without welfare. I have no problem giving someone food, clothing, local transportation, education and shelter when in need, but giving them money should not be an option.
