Is there any disadvantage to a government subsidizing domestic firms to make them able to compete in price with cheaper imported goods?

Yes, there is a disadvantage to a government subsidizing domestic firms to make them able to compete in price with cheaper imported goods in that it alters the world of supply and demand, and increases the likelyhood that bad management will stay in place.
