More than a year after Biden signed the Chips Act into law, promising $100 billion in support to new semiconductor plants in the US, his government has made one grant of only $35 million to the American subsidiary of British aerospace firm BAE Systems Plc.

Nice job Joe!

How is a lack of qualified workers The President's fault?

This same guy was the VP while spending trillions of dollars in student loans -- he could easily have prioritized math and science stuff, but he did the opposite.

The GOP alternative is to just digress into an idiocracy, but sure, blame biden because some students are not getting math and science stuff.

From the White House:

In the one year since CHIPS was signed into law, companies have announced over $166 billion in manufacturing in semiconductors and electronics, and at least 50 community colleges in 19 states have announced new or expanded programming to help American workers access good-paying jobs in the semiconductor industry.

From the Semiconductor Association:

companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have already announced dozens of new projects in the U.S.—totaling hundreds of billions of dollars in private investment—in anticipation of CHIPS incentives. Now, with CHIPS on track to deliver massive benefits to our country, it’s critical for leaders in Washington to advance policies that enhance this historic accomplishment. Next steps should include continuing to implement the new law in a timely manner and in close collaboration with industry experts, addressing the significant shortage of STEM workers facing the semiconductor sector and the entire U.S. economy, and ensuring the chip industry has open access to global markets.

In other words, you can't turn a ship in an hour. But the education and manufacturing foundation is being laid. Americans will be feeling the positive impact of this legislation for decades.

We may not have a while. The whole reason this is being done is China is getting ready to attack Taiwan.

Now shake a leg!!!

Do you know what emboldens China to attack Taiwan? When the GOP withholds finding for our friends in Ukraine, China sees it as the US not standing with its allies.

That has a much more direct impact than anything having to do with chip production.

Obama = Putin steals Crimea, big mess in the Middle East, no one cares about oir red lines.

Trump = Putin doesn't move a finger, new hope in the Middle East.

Biden = Putin steals 20% of Crimea, nightmare in the Middle East.

You must be blind.

May I remind you...

Trump's finger for Putin was done from within. Please keep up.

“The Biden administration is providing $162 million to Microchip Technology to support the domestic production of computer chips — the second funding announcement tied to a 2022 law designed to revive U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.

The incentives announced Thursday include $90 million to improve a plant in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and $72 million to expand a factory in Gresham, Oregon, the Commerce Department said. The investments would enable Microchip Technology Inc., which is based in Chandler, Arizona, to triple its domestic production and reduce its dependence on foreign factories.”

And remind us, what has the GOP done to bring chip manufacturing back to the US?

This is the same old Republican playbook: do nothing, complain like hell about it, and then attack any proposal from the Dems. Witness what they've done to Obama Care: moan and complain and promise to repeal and replace, but never actually having a plan. How many times have we heard their vague promises? And you suckers fall for it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Throwing money around is the easy part.

Showing it works is the hard one. Not a great track record at that I must say.

So you are saying these companies are building these facilities and then they will...just stay dormant?

Oh G-d. Were you born when Obama/ Biden threw tens of billions around to build a solar industry in the US, only for most firms, like Solyndra, to go bankrupt in less than 5 years?

Sweetie, you think Reuters is "Repiblicans"?

"For the U.S. economy as a whole, 2016 was an off year. Economic growth slowed to a tepid 1.6% annual rate, which was a five-year low and a sharp drop from the 2.9% pace of 2015."

Republicans just lie. And do stupid things like call you "Sweetie" to try and make themselves feel big.

We see through you losers and your lies.

You're a special kind of stupid. Dems have been trying to prop up STEM programs and encourage people to go to college for decades. Whereas Republicans have for the last several decades chopped away at education with a blunt axe, attacking schools, attacking colleges, encouraging people to homeschool with their Christian parents who dropped out of school and think the earth is flat and that the moon landings were faked because "you can't get through the firmament" or somesuch shit like I constantly keep seeing barraging every damn social media feed I have, along with their dumb posts not understanding PEMDAS, basic math, any concept of scale in the universe, any concepts whatsoever of science or history... and, "everyone is entitled to their opinion" facts and logic be damned. The right wing can go straight to hell. They have done far more to destroy higher education in America than anyone else, and yes, that includes "CRT" and whatever the hell other spurious crap they want to deflect with.
