From venture capital to telecommunications, from the construction industry to teachers’ unions, there is plenty of demand for evidence that celebrates the benefits of these industries and justifies (implicitly or explicitly) government subsidies to them. There is no equally organized and active demand for evidence that all of these subsidies are distortionary, waste money, and make companies less rather than more competitive.
从风险资本到通信，从建筑业到教师工会，每个行业都需要证据证明其重要性，证明其获得（显性和隐性）政府补贴的必要性。至于在证明这些补贴具有扭曲性，纯属浪费公帑，只能让企业竞争力下降而不是提升等方面，则不存在有组织的活跃需求。
