From the latest Sanders Institute mailing: "In the 2015-2016 election cycle, the fossil fuel industry in America received over $20 billion in federal subsidies." And just to be clear, those companies were already making billions of dollars in profit. Plus they got their tax cuts.

And that was during the Obama administration. Your point? Why didn't Congress do anything to change this? I guess they were too busy taking kickbacks and bribes.

Good try. The subsidies were legislated by a Republican Congress, and the tax cuts were the Trump tax bill.
