    Weird how subsidizing “the free market” without regulation and plenty of loopholes doesn’t achieve the reported outcome. Maybe if we hired some more capitalist lobbyists to write our neo-liberal policies, we would end up with policies that are more substantial then just giving public money to private industry.

        Mainly when people talk about this they mean privatization through some convoluted scheme. Look up some of Thatcher’s policies for some out there examples. Outsourcing supply chains is a big part of this privatization, and probably what the commenter meant was that not funding domestic chip production led to this mess.
