35. Big oil subsidies increased in 2025.
Sun Dec 7, 2025, 01:41 PM
Dec 2025

Reports from late 2025 indicate significant increases in U.S. oil and gas subsidies, largely due to legislation like the "One Big Beautiful Bill," adding billions in tax breaks and incentives, alongside cuts to clean energy programs, effectively boosting fossil fuel support despite overall efforts to curb them. Estimates suggest an additional $4 billion per year in direct fossil fuel subsidies from new legislation, adding to existing substantial annual support, totaling tens of billions in direct and indirect aid.

Of course, it's throwing the country deeper into debt. Republicans will just sit on their hemorrhoidal asses, and point their shit stained fingers..
