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.

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."

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?

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.

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.
