re: They add to each other when your determining the size of the intervention, they don't cancel each other out.

From an economic and industry standpoint sure they do.

From the standpoint of the government's budget they cancel each other out. From other perspective they generally do not. Even if the same person or corporation is effected by both, hurt by one, and helped by the other to the same degree, they still don't cancel out they effect the decisions that are made, and having both in this case doubles that effect, so the intervention is twice as large.

re: As a percentage of the economy, or in terms of its impact on peoples decision making it would be larger.

That's the point.

Not one I would support.
