Aren't oil subsidies just another "entitlement." If Republican fiscal policy is supposed to be letting the market work for itself then shouldn't they want to end oil subsidies too?

By subsidizing oil to artificially lower prices aren't we just lessening our drive to research and expand new sources of energy that will be more financially beneficial to our future? If consumers can see the true cost of oil right at the gas pump then won't consumers financially demand better sources of energy thus providing energy companies with the financial leverage to provide better sources of energy?
