You have a weird definition of the word "subsidize."

I suppose I will allow low-income subsidies, but I consider non-dischargeable federal debt to be less of a subsidy and more of a "sure we'll help, but you better keep paying every f'ing month, or we'll make your life challenging, and we'll still get our money when you die," and less of a "here's some free government money with no strings attached."

It's also an excellent way to "print" money and ensure a steady cash-flow.

I guess it depends on which narrative makes you sleep at night with your worldview.
