WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is seeking to break a logjam on a $250 billion bill aimed at making the U.S. more competitive with China and easing a global shortage in microchips by attaching it to a must-pass Pentagon policy measure that could clear the chamber this week.
The China bill, which passed the Senate with bipartisan support in June but has languished in the House, would boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing with $52 billion in assistance and authorize another $190 billion for research and development at universities and other institutions and other priorities.
The semiconductor money, deemed emergency spending, has new urgency as a global shortage of chips has idled U.S. automotive plants and disrupted the production of consumer electronics.
“I have had a number of conversations with senators on both sides of the aisle and there seems to be fairly broad support for doing so,” Schumer wrote in a letter to all Senate Democrats on Sunday. The move, he added, could allow both bills to pass Congress “before the end of the year.”
The massive defense policy measure has been enacted annually for more than 60 years and typically receives strong support in both parties, making it an attractive vehicle for the China bill. A spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about Schumer’s likely plan to combine both bills.
Time is running out this year, with both chambers tied up in a drive to pass President Joe Biden’s nearly $2 trillion economic agenda and clear legislation that would fund government agencies through the end of this fiscal year.
Democrats hope to clear Biden’s plan in the House this week.

In the Senate, Schumer said work is continuing with […]

Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today.

The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page.
