I'm surprised there is a government subsidy at all for closed-captioning. I know that when I deliver a program to a broadcaster I am responsible for providing the captioning.
As to the question of what should be subsidized... Programs on PBS and public access. Period.
Commerical broadcasters should have to pay for this sort of thing. A law should be enacted that all commercial broadcasts will provide closed captioning and the broadcasters and their production/distribtion partners should cover this cost.
