Why couldn't micro-chip companies invest their own money? We subsidize multi-billion dollar companies on a regular basis, while refusing to help those asking for simply the minimum requirements of a dignified life.

The CHIPS Act actually provided a $76 billion blank check to micro-chip companies including a $24 billion tax break. For $76 billion we could expand Medicare to cover hearing and vision care - or what corporate shills in both parties now want you to believe are "magical unicorns"

Because voter information is pay2play. The day we give voters the tools (the app) to organize and manage voter information is the day our elections will no longer be for sale.

Corporations invested overseas to take advantage of cheap labor and to develop the potentially huge market of a billion Chinese and a billion Indians. But CHIPS are required for our weapons, computers, phones, cars, and so must be made here for security reasons.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because corporations are agents of the government. They use government money. The government determines who/what gets their money. Corporations are created, registered and regulated by the Government. Corporations are an arm of government. You must understand this.

Because is very very expensive and they are competing with places like China, South Korea, Taiwan etc where those countries are spend billions to keep or bring the technology. We should also spend billions to secure Battery manufacturing here. Is National security issue.

It makes no sense to spend 800 billion dollars on the defense department budget and then let countries that hate us build our chips that run our weapons, computers, phones, cars, etc.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because we decided we wanted to encourage Chip companies to build manufacturing plants in America. They were starting to anyway… but with the threats against Taiwan … it’s becoming high priority.

Yes ... absolutely ... or ask them to pay the money back as soon as they begin to make a profit!

The American people should hold a royalty on everything we subsidize. They should be treated as an investment not a handout.

They used to be manufactured in this country, but then greed took over and they found that it is cheaper to manufacture in other countries which pay their workers slave wages and they have no environmental regulations. Wall Street is the problem, and it is Capitalist.
