No, that's not what Chu said.

As a consumer, you at least have control over these subsidies as they come back directly to you - that is the whole point of them. Without it, this entire country would stop.

No, these subsides do not "come back to me" in cost lowering at the pump, they go into massive profit for the oil companies.

What do you the the gubment is going to do with your money when they aren't giving it to Big Oil? Give it back to you? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Nope. Use it to pay down our massive deficit, caused by all these free government welfare handouts to record-profitable companies that pay little to no tax.
