If Trump actually cares about bringing manufacturing back and national security, I can see few opportunities as important as domestic semiconductor fabs. Our military relies on them, our economy relies on them, and everyday households rely on them. We’re wholly dependent on this foundational technology, and we’re wholly dependent on supplies from other nations, some of which are at risk of being annexed by unfriendly countries. Maybe I’m missing something here…
Even from a purely financial standpoint the article say this subsidy has resulted in $400B in private investments. That seems like a win to me.
And the step the Trump administration is copying is the fire sale of state assets after the collapse of USSR, which further concentrated wealth in the hands of the few in the former USSR.
