This point is also important, and reflects sound policy design: “If the chip market softens, some plants could get postponed, but the disbursement of grants is tied to progress in bringing fabs online.” ft.com/content/267561…

This from ⁦@crmiller1⁩ is important: To assess progress of CHIPs program, focus less on editorial commentary about barrier this, barrier that…and more on hard dollars. Private chip-related investment in the US is way outpacing expectations. ft.com/content/267561…

The right U.S. response to China’s policies is to build an international coalition, starting with harmonized tariffs on Chinese exports—in areas of overcapacity and in some cases could reflect the carbon content of products. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

China’s decision to double down on an economic strategy of overcapacity and underconsumption should lead us to neither resignation nor retreat. My thoughts on the right way forward in today's @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

So TSMC just announced it is *ahead* of schedule & plans to begin fab operations by end of '24. A good reminder that companies seeking govt investment have strong incentive to overstate costs & the USG is wise to focus on long-term taxpayer interest. economist.com/business/2024/…

This is a landmark agreement to scale leading edge chip manufacturing in America. Impressive in the details; though execution is critical. Particularly noteworthy that TSMC is committing to *three* fabs and the manufacture of 2nm chips in AZ. ft.com/content/4798ab…

Yes. Yes. "Mr. Biden’s economic plans look even more Hamiltonian in contrast with Donald Trump’s suggested 10 percent tariffs on all imports and 60 percent tariffs on all Chinese goods." nytimes.com/2024/03/10/opi…

This is key. No more unpaid for tax cuts. Any part of the Trump tax cuts that we want to extend should be offset with revenue raisers. If not for the Bush tax cuts, debt/GDP would be declining. We should make sure we don’t make the same mistake with the Trump tax cuts.

2. The tax system needs to raise more revenues from wealthy people and profitable corporations to offset any tax cuts extended or expanded for those with incomes below $400,000, to finance high-value investments in people and communities, and to improve our fiscal outlook.

“If we do allow this [weight loss] drug to be made available to Americans, we could be building in a cost to the federal government,” says @BrianCDeese. “Obviously we can’t afford that as a nation, but I don’t think we can afford to not have these drugs widely available.”
