The legislation has bogged down in the House, where many Democrats want the legislation to address broader societal goals, including economic inequality and climate change, potentially risking the loss of some Republican support.
Biden administration officials, including Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, are adding to the push, saying the legislation is needed to keep the U.S. competitive and could also help tame domestic inflation. She said the Senate’s version “falls short of meeting the needs of the scientific community and our nation.”Some Republicans counter that view, saying the bill should be squarely focused on advancing U.S. technology, including promoting domestic semiconductor manufacturing, and not muddled by what Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers calls “duplicative government spending.”
“I have calls pretty much every day with members of Congress, primarily in the House but also the Senate, reiterating how vital this is, how it relates to inflation,” Ms. Raimondo said. Ms. Raimondo said that spending would help alleviate computer chip shortages that have contributed to tight supplies—and higher prices—for cars, appliances, electronic devices and other consumer items.
Republicans seem to staff out of 'concerns.' Do they even know what that means?
