Does anyone here know where to get a list over time of direct/indirect subsidies in dollars received by certain industries in the U.S.?  And where to get start-up/bankruptcy figures in those same industries as well?

 

The idea should be fairly obvious but:  large subsidies -> distorted information ->  massive misallocation -> these businesses should be more prone to fail/have less start-ups/slowly become more and more colluded.   I want to test this thesis.  And possibly see how profitable it would be if a trader had continually shorted in these specific industries.
