Ken: Nice implicit ad hominem attack there: "Everyone who disagrees with me is an ideologue."

Unbiased economists (i.e., those who are not being paid by an industry asking for a subsidy) who have studied subsidies for "strategic" industries have consistently found that once you take into account the cost of the subsidies, they're bad for economic growth (and that's consistently true, whether the economist doing the study is generally liberal or conservative). That's not ideology, it's solid peer-reviewed research.
