The subsidies to GA are MASSIVE

If you would just go to the FAA website and check out their materials on
their budget, you'd find more relevant information. The document titled
"Revised Air Traffic Organization Data Package" [1] contains breakdowns
with better information than you are supplying. An explanation is given
in [2] on what the tables rows and columns mean and how the information
was collected.

The subsidies do not appear to be "enormous". The FAA appears to be
spending more than gets from all aviation fees and taxes [3], but that
appears to be a recent phenomenon (if I understand their Trust Fund
white paper).
