The article linked in the post I'm replying to, while from 2015, details $5.9 billion of subsidies that no-one I know approved in forms including tax breaks, century long $1 leasing deal in New York, rebates, and gifted sellable carbon credits.

This is separate to the $5.5 billion in SpaceTwitter contracts.

Both numbers, have, I'm sure I don't need to check any data sets to see have gone up in the 10 years since.
