Having military bases in Europe (if that's what you're referring to) is mutually beneficial to the the U.S and Europe but I wouldn't call it a subsidy. It's done primarily to preserve America's global sphere of influence.

The economic stimulus ended in the 50's, the cold war 30yrs ago.

Probably means "close to $1000/month" rather than any value under $1000

Didn't we know black holes 100% exist 20 yrs ago because of the orbits of the stars around the centre of the galaxy and before that because of quasars?

Yes that's correct
