Many Republicans are in favor of subsidies of industries like Boeing when they are in their district. I expect they would describe themselves as believers in small government.

Probably because it means they get federal money, not because they want to cut out the subsidies out of their own budget.

No one because it's not a lump sum. It's a projected cost over 50 years.
