What is the difference between a economic bailout or a subsidy?

Filed Under bailout 

basketball409 asked:


I am getting confused on the difference between an economic bailout or a subsidy put in place by the government. I know that both are sometimes given money but I don’t know much else. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you “little kid” but I would love some help from someone educated!

      A subsidy is generally an ongoing government benefit, like sugar price supports or paying farmers not to grow food. A bailout is more like a one-time cash infusion during a crisis.
