Allen Rivers
Dually eligible people are going to have great savings but no one seems to talk about these other people. Do we need to expand subsidies to include these people who are still poor, and are still going to have trouble with medicines?
Dr. Walid Gellad
We expect to maintain profit at last year's level if we get subsidies and government bonds.
Sarthak Behuria
The U.S. has been shy to tell us how they will deal with subsidies. They have not told us exactly what they will be doing.
Karl Falkenberg
It's fine to say we need to eliminate subsidies, but we have to have an agreement on what subsidies are. If the name of this game is just about Airbus eliminating its reimbursable loans, this is not something we can accept.
Arancha Gonzalez
We think the report in fact shows that the subsidies are a great thing for us. Do the math and you will see that every dollar invested with Wal-Mart has returned more than $30 for the community. We expect to see lots of other local governments will be asking for that $30 deal.
Mona Williams
Sometimes you have got to be careful what you wish for. But the U.S. will just put its blinders on and pretend it doesn't get subsidies.
David Pritchard
The White House knows the U.S. industry still confronts serious issues including massive global over-capacity and a whole variety of foreign subsidies that encourage this over-capacity.
Alan Wolff

Neena Moorjani
Right now we do have sufficient government subsidies. I'm not blaming these adopters after all they did contribute to the zoo. We are in fact very appreciative.
Xue Chongde
There are several kinds of loans you can get: public and private loans. (The federal government) can give subsidies to encourage companies to lend money. Over the years, those competitive, free-market lenders found ways to take advantage of the law... . There were abuses in the system.
Andrea Baker
The United States wants to see a better commitment on market access for American companies in Vietnam. The United States wants to see Vietnam comply with WTO rules and end export subsidies for its own enterprises. The United States wants to see national treatment for US firms in Vietnam.

Europe and America should go to Hong Kong with a common position that by 2010 we will eliminate export subsidies, we will reduce the tariffs that are being charged and we will open our markets finally to developing countries.
Dean Gordon Brown

Harriet Lamb
The concern is that the protest will lead to violence, which will hinder the government's efforts to cut subsidies and the budget gap. That is weighing on the currency.
Osamu Takashima

David Pritchard
In a sellout to the drug companies, Congress prohibited Medicare from negotiating a better price for seniors. Then it threw in billions of subsidies to HMOs, adding another layer of confusion, bureaucracy and costs to the program. America's most vulnerable -- seniors in need of prescription drugs -- will pay the cost of this corruption.
Roger Hickey
Our focus should be to eliminate the need for any financial subsidies. How do we get the lower-revenue teams up to the point where there's no issue of revenue sharing because there's no need for it? How do we develop best practices so that we all, each of the 32 clubs, learn from each other?
Robert Mcnair
The government has done exactly the right thing. Dollar-bond investors were looking for a significant cut in subsidies, and Indonesia delivered.
Scott Wilson
The subsidies may be big, but the situation in Iraq is such a mess. If there is a price increase, if they remove some of the subsidies, it will cause a lot of hardship.
Robert Mabro
Any commitment of funds, even if they are not formally disbursed, would signal the continuation of subsidies for the A350. It would be a step in the wrong direction.
Neena Moorjani
It was the main definition of what capitalism is. I guess you would call me a free-market economist, that we shouldn't have the kind of government subsidies that Chase was proposing.
Robert Sitarzewski
Clearly, many of our problems could have been avoided if there had been greater commitment to eradicating subsidies, monopolies and favoritism.
Anwar Ibrahim
The governor believes in the adoption subsidies program, but it was growing unchecked. With a generous means test, the program will be able to continue in the future.
Jessica Robinson
Rather than saying ethanol production creates jobs or lowers the price of gas, ethanol proponents will need to justify the subsidies along the lines of national defense or creating a lower-cost industry for the future.
David Bullock
This was the first year-on-year increase since last August, when operators reduced subsidies and competition weakened.
Carlos Constantini
Rich countries have been given time until 2013 to eliminate agricultural export subsidies. That's eight long years and gives ample opportunities for various interest groups in Europe and the U.S. to lobby against the elimination of such subsidies.
Andrew Work
We are concerned that we don't have the funding we once had from the general fund perspective, but we have done well to leverage federal dollars and state subsidies that go to community health centers.
Loretta Fuddy
If the Democratic Organization has accepted donations from Jack Morris, how can the freeholders award tax-dollar subsidies for this project? To avoid this impropriety, they should let the voter decide on the use of revenue by a referendum.
Andrew Tidd
Christianity has sufficient inner strength to survive and flourish on its own. It does not need state subsidies, nor state privileges, nor state prestige. The more it obtains state support the greater it curtails human freedom.
William Orville Douglas
There are concerns that the longer $60 oil persists, the greater the pressure will come (on Asian governments) to cut subsidies.
David Fyfe
Africa is poor because Africa hasn't grown. And it can only grow when it is allowed to trade freely and openly and fairly. That means these trade distorting subsidies must be removed by 2010, but we are nowhere near that.
Niall Fitzgerald
We do not expect the negotiations to break down this time, ... Members of the WTO agreed that some consensus should be reached on issues of subsidies and tariffs to agriculture and the service industry. We are prudently optimistic that some consensus will be reached.
Raymond Young
The big question is when India and China begin to grapple with their subsidies.
David Fyfe
Buried (in the method by which hospitals set fees) is this array of cross-subsidies that lets our health-care system train young doctors, conduct research and care for the uninsured.
Bill Vaughan
We believe allocated subsidies for the power generation sector may be fully utilized by the end of the second half.
Sailesh Jha
Once subsidies are withdrawn it's no longer economical for the farmers there to export. Internationally you are having the two exporters -- Brazil and European Union -- reducing their exports and therefore we think international prices will remain strong.
Shyam Bhat
Something that will allow those individuals to have some sort of equity buildup is more important than rent subsidies.
Allen Settle
Part of the deficit was caused by foreign export subsidies, which lowered the prices of agricultural products such as grain, cotton and bean.

William Ramsay
I think there needs to be subsidies in place to make sure growers can farm successfully.
Mark Toigo
Subsidies were instituted that are now being used to pay telephone bills. That strikes me as something that Congress certainly did not have in mind when it passed the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Lawrence Gasman
The question is whether prices are sustained -- then the burden of oil subsidies comes under stronger focus. It needs careful political consideration to avoid a backlash.
Andrew Symon
My running mates and I may have potentially saved the county taxpayers millions in unnecessary subsidies earmarked for these developers already, because these freeholders now know that voting taxpayers are watching their every move on this stadium.
Andrew Tidd
I have not seen a system proposed that realistically provides the subsidies necessary to make an individual mandate work. I'm not crazy about employer-based systems, but that's what we've got, and I would like to strengthen rather than weaken it.
Ron Pollack
This bill will allow politicians to tell voters they're, quote, doing something about high energy prices. And the bill also allows politicians to hand out subsidies and preferences and tax dollars to well-organized interest groups -- and that's what Congress likes to do best.
Jerry Taylor
The report provides overwhelming evidence that the Byrd amendment has turned into a giant corporate and welfare program where a few large companies are reaping millions of dollars in subsidies based on overstated and unaudited qualifying expenditures.
Steve Alexander
That, in a nutshell, explains why the Democratic speaker of the assembly, Fabian Nunez, quietly amended a bill this week to grant movie producers tens of millions of dollars in subsidies from a state treasury that already is drowning in red ink, with multibillion-dollar annual deficits.
Dan Walters
East Germany doesn't bring money into the system. Germany subsidies consumption to the tune of 4 percent of GDP for the east.
Jeremy Leaman
Markets have taken the view that the government is doing everything it can against terrorism and to cut subsidies.
Robert Adair
The president called for ending our addiction to oil but there's no 12-step program in his budget. ... The president's energy policy ... is constrained by lack of imagination, scope, resources and an unwillingness to roll back subsidies to energy companies already enjoying record profits.
Toby Chaudhuri
Calls for dismantling trade barriers and ending agriculture subsidies that hurt small farmers and the private sector.
Paul Wolfowitz
We believe that economic development subsidies for job creation -- if they are serious about reducing poverty -- must be better integrated with public transit. These projects demonstrate many ways that localities are making that connection.
Greg Leroy
I think this is a very good move by the central bank as it's anticipating the continued risk to inflation from higher oil prices and subsidies.
Vajira Premawardhana
This request is designed to protect our rights in the WTO, fully in line with the procedural agreement reached with the U.S. in September. Whilst wishing to de-escalate this dispute, our aim is to see the WTO-incompatible FSC export subsidies removed.
Pascal Lamy
New Zealand in 1984 did away with all farm subsidies. One of the reasons for going on this trip was to see how New Zealand got along after they took away all farm subsidies, and get an understanding of what happened in the process.
Terry Pope
The main thing is this: 50 million people are now looking for organic products, but 80 percent of the subsidies go to big farms and almost nothing goes to helping farmers transform to organic.
Ronnie Cummins
We are all for community air service. However, we do not provide operating subsidies. Our funding is for construction activities.
Matt Vanover

Rob Hinchliffe
The very subsidies that they're concerned about are the ones that we're proposing to eliminate.
Christin Baker
Today's proposal signals the Administration's commitment to reforming trade distorting subsidies. The ball is squarely in Congress' court to deliver a fair and sustainable farm program, not just for the U.S. but for the world.
Raymond Offenheiser
This bill roots out excess lender subsidies in the student loan program while increasing student access to loans. It's a win-win for students and taxpayers.
Don Seymour
