Biden's $280 BILLION Corporate Welfare Scheme
September 19, 2023
On this episode of Common Sense Soapbox, Seamus and Florida Man explain why we shouldn’t let the chips fall where they may. Biden’s recently enacted CHIPS Act provides a gross amount of money to tech titans to manufacture chips and promote scientific research in the US. But as we’ve learned on CSS, bad things happen when the government attempts to manipulate the market.
