Several days ago the United States Senate passed a bipartisan bill to generate spending to give to major technology companies in order to compete with China.
On Tuesday, June 8th, the Senate voted 68-32 to pass the United States Innovation and Competition Act to out-compete China, with a focus on further research and development of artificial intelligence (AI), funds to create more semiconductors more closer to the homeland.
This vote, according to MarketWatch, took place the same day the Biden administration announced a new framework and outline for dealing with supply chain issues, including the production of semiconductors, mining of rare earth minerals and creation of advanced batteries, and efforts to ‘address bottlenecks with a “whole of government” approach.’
As other countries continue to invest in their own research and development, we cannot risk falling behind. America must maintain its position as the most innovative and productive nation on Earth.
President Joe Biden on the bill’s passage
The House of Representatives has its own U.S.-China-related bills in the works, but since the Senate bill was a bipartisan effort, there is a strong potential this new bill could get passed before the House leaves for recess.
The this new spending package includes $50 billion dollars over five years to increase rapidly increase chip production domestically, additional incentives and funding for more research and development.
The bill also calls for more innovation and research at academic centers from foreign intervention, arrangements to compete with China’s Belt and Road Initiative globally, analysis of Chinese entities in U.S. capital markets, and a boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Space.com also reports that $10 billion has been allocated to for the expansion of private crewed moon landers for NASA.
Another part of the spending goes to new directives on AI and quantum science, working with the National Science Foundation – authorizing $29 billion over the course of five years for this new branch within the foundation, plus $52 billion for its programs.
Some other provisions include targeting money-laundering schemes, addressing national security threats and concerns, and cyberattacks associated with individuals on the behest of the Chinese government.
There are “buy America” plans to boost infrastructure plans as well.
Another provision includes prohibiting money used for the Wuhan Institute of Virology in light of evidence related to Covid-19 virus outbreak.
Overall, the bill will increase spending to $250 billion – or a quarter of a trillion dollars, according to the AP.
The premise is simple, if we want American workers and American companies to keep leading the world, the federal government must invest in science, basic research and innovation, just as we did decades after the Second World War. Whoever wins the race to the technologies of the future is going to be the global economic leader with profound consequences for foreign policy and national security as well.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also gave his support for the bill, though he felt there were not enough Republican sponsors.
Needless to say, final passage of this legislation cannot be the Senate’s final word on our competition with China. It certainly won’t be mine.
Mitch McConnell
‘Schumer’s office said 18 Republican amendments will have received votes as part of passage of the bill. It also said the Senate this year has already held as many roll call votes on amendments than it did in the last Congress, when the Senate was under Republican control,’ according to the AP.
Senator Rand Paul said the government should be cutting its spending, not increasing it. He said the agency is “the king of wasteful spending.”
The bill is nothing more than a big government response that will make our country weaker, not stronger.
Rand Paul
At the time, I’m pretty sure we thought we were in a track meet where our competitor was, oh, I don’t know, maybe half a lap behind us. I’m pretty sure now as the decade has moved on, we’re looking over our shoulder and realizing that the competition is gaining.
Senator Maria Cantwell, the chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.
This is an opportunity for the United States to strike a blow on behalf of answering the unfair competition that we are seeing from communist China.
Senator Roger Wicker
According to the AP, Biden is eager to get this bill signed.
It seems like we are in the middle of this process where we are questioning some of our assumptions.
Anna Ashton. Vice president of government affairs at the U.S.-China Business Council
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
Proverbs 28:2
Heeeere we go again: useless spending that the American taxpayer gets to pay for, and it again is blamed on CHINA. It was not long ago that the House, both Democrats and Republicans, were calling on the Federal Reserve to create a digital dollar to compete with CHINA. As mentioned before in other reports, in 2019 Trump signed in and funded new initiatives to increase the rollout of 5G and 6G, to compete and beat – you guessed it – CHINA.
And these are just some of the examples. Our useless government routinely just blames everything on China, Russia, or some Middle Eastern county, to justify its nefarious and devious acts.
The WinePress has been reporting on many of the things China has been doing, which has been “advancements” on how to control, spy, and mitigate its people. So, when this useless American “government” says this spending that you and I get to pay for in order to “compete” with China – they really mean dumping more money so the government can more effectively and precisely CONTROL US!

So do not be surprised when this bill passes in Congress and Biden gives his signature to it. Not only that, did you notice how some things subtly relate to Agenda 2030 and Absolute Zero? Oh, but big-bold Rand Paul, the cryptic vaccine salesman, did not want to talk about that: just America’s boondoggling; even though him and all the rest get endless benefits that the people do not have, and must pay for. And then that clown wants to talk wasteful spending? Give me a break.
Hypocrite Rand Paul Refuses To Get The Vaccine After Touting Them As The ‘Only Way Out’
There is plenty more I can say, but I think you get the point. Republican, Democrat, it doesn’t matter: they are all enemies of this country. But hey, that’s okay, right? -just keep voting for “the lesser of two evils” and damn your conscience into thinking everything is hunky-dorey.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

If you look at the tax records, they already pay little to none. Facebook, and Google are both funded and tied directly to NSA, CIA, and DARPA. Not that it should come as news to anyone. So I am not surprised that they are giving them more money to track and enslave to folks that use them.
What amazes me is that people don’t care at all about privacy. Remember privacy? Now they broadcast everything they do, post pictures, and allow themselves to be tracked and recorded in every way you can think of.
Even criminals post their exploits!
