Congress working behind closed doors on $50 billion in corporate welfare
*Sanders Warns Congress Is Working 'Behind Closed Doors' on $50
Billion in Corporate Welfare.*
Including 10 billion for Bezos.
*We're talking about giving $50 billion in corporate welfare with no
strings attached — a blank check — to the highly profitable
microchip industry.*
It makes sense to encourage companies to manufacture chips in the US,
but not with a subsidy. We must stop "rewarding" companies for not
doing some harmful practice. Instead we must punish the ones that do
it.
The traditional way to do this is with a tariff. The World Trade
Organization restricts that — its purpose, from the start, was
to reduce the power that states have over businesses and give
the businesses power over states, and it succeeded. That's
why I call it a business-supremacy treaty.
But there are ways to impose a tariff.
The problem is that when a country applies a tariff to a product that
it does not produce, it only discourages use of the product.
What we
need is a tariff that applies to any given model of imported chips
once some factory in the US produces comparable chips. |

Lula leads. |

Burying without identifying
The Putin forces seem to be burying the dead civilians of Mariupol in
mass
graves, without
identifying them (which would be a challenge). Estimates of the
number of dead range form 22,000 to 90,000, and perhaps vary even
further. |

Pence and Secret Service
On Jan 6, when Pence was at the Capitol, Secret Service agents tried
to put him into a limo and take him to a "secure location". That
would have achieved the wrecker's goal of sabotaging the formal
election count.
Pence refused to enter the limo, and made it clear it was so he
could continue with an honest count. |
