A '''subsidy''' is a payment or [[tax break]] by [[government]] (usually [[big government]] such as the [[Federal government]]) to certain [[business]]es or to the [[states]] to help them survive or to give them a competitive advantage or to "bribe" them. Sometimes the subsidy can be direct, as in the case of [[agricultural subsidy | cash payments to farmers]], and sometimes it can be indirect, as in the case of building the [[Railway_history#United_States|transcontinental railroad]].
