WASHINGTON ― President Joe Biden and Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks met virtually on Monday with the chief executive of Lockheed Martin and other companies to advance a bill to boost semiconductor production in the United States.
“Semiconductors, it’s not an overstatement to say, are the ground zero of our tech competition with China,” Hicks said, adding that they’re vital for technologies from artificial intelligence to hypersonic weapons to next-generation networking.

Decades of corporate profit making by shipping this technology offshore and the right wants to blame Biden for the problem? He will fix it of course.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
Sgt Jim Belanus But the majority of companies that shipped all that manufacturing are huge GOP donors to this day.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - and Democrat donors. 90% of them play both sides of the aisle, just like most industries.

Lt Col Charlie Brown
The right wants to stop more shipping of this technology offshore. But Chuck Schumer is blocking that.

He thinks it makes him look good imho, but it doesn't... He too late... China now has the Technology and the ability to make them in high volumes... We NEVER should have given them our technology years ago... Our Manufacturing has fundamentally been "NIL" in comparison to China imho!

He is a day late and a dollar short in my view, SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL! He has been slow on the draw ,so-to-speak, and on most items He really doesn't know much about what He speaks about... It is very disconcerting, my friend...
