>> Besides, what are the other options?

How about fund university research in related technology, reduce regulation that inhibits free enterprise, open financial markets to support capital formation, lower taxes on capital gains, enforce anti-trust regulation, and cross your fingers and hope some comes from it in 20 years.

You could also spend trillions of dollars on a high tech military industrial complex. That helps also.

This is not going to do it.

> lower taxes on capital gains

How does that help semiconductor development?

More investment capital available since semi is a capital hungry industry.

Don't believe me? Just ask Robert Noyce, who lobbied for this for US semiconductor revival against Japan.
