Whine booh hoo! We can't make any technological advances to sell new products, so we need corporate welfare. Since when did a corporation have the right to be profitable?

Why the hell would I want to spend my tax dollars funding this? Even if they got the government aid, SIA companies are not going to gave US consumers get a discount for future technologies.
And how is this "ensure further economic prosperity" when the ungreateful companies just going to turn around and use the technologies to built fabs in China or India.
