[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans have the attention span of gnats. If they can't have instant gratification, they don't want it. Just no discipline at all. [/quote]

You also don't just snap your fingers and make industrial policy happen. It takes years to develop industry and infrastructure of this magnitude. Just look at any major construction project in a city near you. Think how long those apartment buildings take to build (hint, it's usually 2-3 years). Now multiply that difficulty by like 100 to get to what is necessary for a semi-conductor plant. Just one spec of dust or shedding of skin cells can disrupt the semiconductor process. OP, truly is an idiot that believes all things can be solved with 30 second sound bites.[/quote]

Not sure I follow. You're saying that the same folks who couldn't build a working Obamacare website, or a solar industry despite massive investments, or get our own weapons out of Afghanistan, or manage the border, or open public schools safely like so many other countries did.....you're saying those same people will now "make industrial policy happen" ... and industrial policy is something so difficult that you need to "multiply that difficulty by like 100 to get to what is necessary"?[/quote]

While people like you were complaining about the solar investments, China used what WE learned and invested billions and now own the entire solar market. It's the lack of foresight that has allowed China to own these markets and for us to be so far behind. How do you think R&D works? Because of people like you complaining over investments, the US left the market because the politics here were too hard. Now, you see where we are. Playing catch up![/quote]
