Yet I have never heard anyone from the left, while trumpeting the subsidy argument ever refer to these as such. Now why not? Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that if you did it would show a lot of deadbeats that are massively 'subsidized'? Doesn't nicely fit the agenda.

As for the EITC - since folks get that regardless of taxes paid, then yes it is a subsidy just like the child tax credit.

Got it, when someone else gets the money, its a subsidy but when you get the money its not a subsidy.
