I could not disagree more. Government needs to stay the hell out instead of doing its usual failure at picking winners and losers.
I am more interested in the number of people who are harmed by ag subsidies.
How did those Solyndra subsidies turn out? And when did Intel become so broke that they needed the government to build a plant for them? Intel can afford their own plant. And any plant requiring subsidies from the government isn't really viable to begin with. Check back in five years and we'll see if that plant still has 10-14k jobs paying $135k. I will bet you dollars to donuts that they will not. In fact, I would be surprised if that plant is even open five years from now.
The sudden burst of chip maker subsidies is due to China threatening Taiwan. They're building fabrication facilities 24/7 in Arizona and other places to move critical high-end chip making out of Taiwan as quickly as possible.
