What are welfare payment and consumer subsidies

Welfare payments are those payments that act as investment in order to give financial assistance to the person or beneficiary whenever it is needed. For example, social security is an example of welfare payments. 

A consumer subsidy, on the other hand, is a form of benefit given by the government in order to alleviate or discount a certain burden on the consumer's side whenever one buys goods or services.

Texas’ gulf coastal plains are the western extension of the coastal plain extending from the atlantic ocean to beyond the rio grande. its characteristic rolling to hilly surface covered with a heavy growth of pine and hardwoods extends into east texas. in the increasingly arid west, however, its forests become secondary in nature, consisting largely of post oaks and, farther west, prairies and brushlands.
