Biden to visit Arizona computer chip site, highlight jobs

President Joe Biden on Tuesday plans to visit the building site for a new computer chip plant in Arizona, using it as a chance to emphasize how his policies are fostering job growth in what could be a challenge to the incoming Republican House majority.

Biden has staked his legacy in large part on major investments in technology and infrastructure that were approved by Congress along bipartisan lines. The Democratic president maintains that the factory jobs fostered by $52 billion in semiconductor investments and another $200 billion for scientific research will help to revive the U.S. middle class.

“This is actually about building an economic strategy that goes beyond semiconductors,” said Brian Deese, director of the White House National Economic Council. “This is a marked departure from the economic philosophy that has governed for much of the last 40 years in this country, which was a sort of trickle-down economic strategy.”

But there are signs that past moments of bipartisanship on economic matters may be harder to replicate after November's midterm elections, in which Republicans won a House majority. Biden still pitches the investments as a sign of what happens when lawmakers partner with each other, but Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy, who could be the next speaker, attacked the legislation in a July floor speech as a “blank check” and “corporate welfare.”

Biden is visiting a plant under construction by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. that was announced in 2020 during Donald Trump's presidency. TSMC will also announce a second plant in Arizona on Tuesday. Biden administration officials said the two TSMC plants as well as new factories by Intel, Micron, Wolfspeed and others could give a decisive edge to the American military and economy at time when competition with China is heating up.

The White House has simultaneously launched a video campaign to highlight the array of non-tech jobs associated with the semiconductor industry. Biden has visited four other computer chip sites since September, with the highly paid factory jobs promising spillover hiring for construction, janitorial services and other businesses.

Featured in the video campaign is Paul Sarzoza, president and CEO of Verde Clean. Sarzoza founded the company in 2019. It won a contract to clean TSMC's construction site, accounting for a third of its 150 jobs. Sarzoza's company will clean the semiconductor plant, with workers wearing what's known as a “bunny suit” to prevent any contamination from hair and skin.

The government's investment was key for his company's growth, and he expects to add 150 to 200 more employees next year.

“It’s one step at a time,” Sarzoza said. “But it’s a tremendous opportunity for us.”

Joe biden made money available for the north west to implement harm reduction . So cool an woke .

Yup, it's no wonder Biden's Democrats so thoroughly humiliated the GOP in the midterms.

Keep up the great work, President Biden!

Our borders are an absolute catastrophe. Record numbers of murders, child trafficking, drugs, cartel growth, etc, etc and were talking about this. What crap, gotta love how pathetically people can be bought and manipulated. Take a look back at what the same posters here were taking about during the trump/ biden election. Like the border issues were a crime against humanity and now silence. Please, how about just a little dignity.

Yes, it certainly is interesting how leading up to every US election, right wing propaganda networks like Fox News scare their viewers 24/7 about things like migrant caravans, out of control crime, and other nonsense to rile up their gullible viewers. And like magic these issues all seemingly disappear once an election is over.

Thankfully, unlike his predecessor, President Biden doesn't watch far right propaganda networks like Fox News and understands there are real issues worth discussing. And while it's unfortunate that so many gullible right wingers are so deeply dependent on Fox News for their fear porn, the amazing midterm results for the Biden administration show that there are more than enough Americans smart enough to ignore the ramblings of the paranoid and gullible right.

Fox News’ Violent Crime Coverage Plunges 63% After Election Day

“Fox was open in its strategy of using violent crime as a political cudgel against Democrats throughout the midterms,” Media Matters said Friday. “Driven in part by Fox host Tucker Carlson’s calls for Republicans to run on the issue, the network engaged in a monthslong campaign to tie Democrats and the Biden administration to violent crime, often by highlighting specific incidents in ‘Democratic cities’ and blaming progressive criminal justice reform for individual violent crimes.”
